A judge is deliberating whether to try a Milwaukee boy, accused of fatally shooting his mother in the head over a dispute involving a virtual reality headset, as an adult.
The incident, which transpired two years ago when the boy was 10, has prompted a legal debate over jurisdiction.
Defense attorneys argue for juvenile court proceedings, emphasizing the potential for a shorter sentence if convicted. Prosecutors, however, point to the child’s history of violence and assertiveness as grounds for adult charges.
