She demonstrated knowledge that what she was doing was wrong, would cause his family to hate her and for the police to come after her. Even in the presence of serious psychological issues which I would argue are not evident here, this ability to discern right from wrong prevents her from using the insanity defense.

ETA: holy shit, the teenage psyche is just so complicated and crazy and I don’t know how any of us made it out and became semi-functioning sort-of adults.

Clearly anyone spelling Fucking “fucken” is deranged as all get out.

Maybe try reading more than the headline.

Um, there’s a fucking ladder right there! That’s what it’s for! Never mind. I’m just going to wipe the sweat off my hands now and wonder why I watched this.

NOTE TO GIZMODO EDITORS - Is it my imagination or are there a number of new good writers here? This post by Bryan is a good example.
