Interesting set of events. Must be a smart bugger with nerves of steel to pull that off. Sounds like a smart kid in serious need of constructive creative outlet. Despite his lack of judgment (he is 14, after all), hopefully the legal system doesn't mess him up for worse. From the descriptions in the articles, it sounds like he's a smart orphan who just needs some serious mentoring. Hopefully his judge will seize the opportunity and assign some creative punishment and put him in line for some type of constructive mentoring.
