Wait. They are prosecuting him as an adult, purely because he is protesting his innocence? Wtf?

I felt some type of way after reading that too. I honestly thought that even IF you did it, unless you're accepting a plea, you're supposed to plead "not guilty" and maintain your innocence. Then again, I'm no legal expert. I'm sure one of the resident Lawyers will fill us in.

That's insane. How the hell can they expect an 11 year old kid to have the same mental capacities as an adult, and try him as such?

The way I heard it on the news is not that he protested his innocence, but feels absolutely no remorse that his father's fiance and the coming baby are dead. He had made many negative remarks to friends that he didn't want a baby in the house.
I admit that I'm very much on the fence about this, and about other children who (presumedly) kill. There needs to be a facility for them to get treatment, away from the standard juvenile delinquent, but not with the prison general population. If he is guilty, the court may be doing the population at large a huge favor - one example being that Ted Bundy first killed someone when he was either 12 or 13. If he's innocent, he shouldn't have to be in a prison with adult felons.
