He, his parents and his lawyers will find some lame excuse for his behavior. They'll blame it on his drug use, which he just couldn't control. They'll blame it on his upbringing. They'll blame it on social pressures. They'll blame it on anything they can so this poor boy won't have to face up to his actions.
Nobody has the nerve to point a finger at the person responsible.
It's easier to blame a small machined piece of steel. It can't talk back.
