Murder at 12 out by 45

Chris Pittman at the age of 12 when he murdered his grandparents for sending him to bed early after being sent home from school one day for fighting. A little background on Chris. He was raised by his father with his sister and he was almost tossed around from adult to adult so he never really liked adults from then on. He was diagnosed with depression and given an anti depression medicine to take. In November of 2001 Chris murdered his grandparents just shy of midnight and took the dog, weapons, and the family car and was spotted not too far away by police shortly thereafter. Chris is now 19 and is in adult jail and has been ever since the incident.
