I watched a couple of the online vids of Alex's testimony. He seemed a very cool customer. It is difficult to know what is going through the mind of a boy that age when he does something so very bad. We had two boys of about his age or just younger who were convicted of killing a 3or 4 year old boy in much more vicious circumstances. They were put in prison but released when they were 18 or so cos it was felt that they had come to accept that what they had done was evil and would not repeat it. I hate to think of a boy like this Alex who seems a much nicer boy than the UK two ending up in jail for life. If he wants male lovers, he will never go short in prison with his looks! I fear he will have a bad end I can only pray that the grace of God will come into his life somehow. Bill |
