It happens to grown men and women when they 'find god' in the space of a day at the truck stop.
Yeah they both known in the visceral, immediate sense that they are ending a life ... but the difference in implications and world view etc between an adult and a child are endless.
Your brain doesn't stop developing at eleven, you know. Eleven year olds don't represent the current apex of human thought and understanding.

You have a point, but I still believe he deserves life imprisonment
