Thus the problem with putting his rationale on par with adults. What 12-year-old do you know would be sitting around thinking, "I can't look remorseful because that would undermine my defense and I have a constitutional right not to say I did it. They have to prove it so I should hide any remorse I feel so I won't help them out." Uh no. That's the rationale of an adult, not a child--which then brings us back to the topic.
