A California prosecutor says a 12-year-old boy who shot and killed his neo-Nazi father two years ago should be incarcerated in a state juvenile justice facility for his own safety.
Riverside County prosecutor Michael Soccio told Superior Court Judge Jean Leonard during a sentencing hearing Friday that the boy’s crime is one of the most serious imaginable.
The boy’s mother wants him sent to a privately run jail where she believes he will be safer and receive better rehabilitative treatment.
