He was mentally ill. He stalked women, made up imaginary girlfriends, and wrote violent plays. He would take pictures of people in class, would make others uncomfortable, and even had a teacher threaten to quit if he was not removed from the class. This isn't a problem with kids being mean, this is a problem with him being mentally ill and not getting help.

Agree totally with that pk based on what is known at the moment!
Not that it matters re the offense, but would be inclined to hit back at least seven years and see what the pattern of behavior was during that time and what "influences" were around, if he was abused as a kid, what, if any, medications he was given (especially over a time span) and a list of other stuff. Also why his parents and other authorities never sought help/provided treatment - tho, not "targeting" either parents or others - it's possible neither had a clue.
