I think showing no remorse makes him less like an adult and more like a child with a poorly developed brain. The sad thing is that we just don't know what to do with these children. If this kid really did kill his dad's girlfriend, he did what was the easiest thing to do in his child-like brain with the easily accessible gun in his closet. He doesn't have the capacity to understand the intricacies of what he should and should not be feeling. All he knows is that he didn't want her around, he figured a way to make her go away, he apparently wasn't bright enough and didn't have enough parental guidance to figure out that his choice was a bad one. That does NOT make him an adult and should not make him liable to adult consequences. He certainly doesn't have the brain development at 12 of an adult!
