Authorities in Texas say a 10-year-old boy has confessed to an unsolved 2022 killing, telling investigators that he shot a man he did not know while the victim slept.

    The boy, who was just shy of his eighth birthday when the man was shot two years ago, has been evaluated at a psychiatric hospital but cannot be charged with the crime because of his age at the time

    Umm, okay. I guess, y’know kids have poor judgement at that age.

    The boy described entering Rasberry’s RV, shooting him in the head, and shooting again into the couch before leaving, then returning the gun to the truck, investigators said.

    The boy told his interviewer he had seen Rasberry in the RV park earlier in the day, but never met him and had no reason to be mad at him.

    Okay that’s a straight up psychopath right there.

    He was brought to a psychiatric hospital in San Antonio for evaluation and treatment and then was taken back to Gonzales County. He was placed in juvenile detention on a charge of making a terroristic threat for the school bus incident.

    And then they put him in a kiddie jail?!? He is mentally unstable! He will not get any better in a jail but they’re going to let him out in a few years I’m sure. It’s really starting to feel like Texas is just moving backwards in time. Next we’ll be “curing” homosexuality with leaches and being dunked in a lake.
