A very disturbing trial came to an end Thursday, with a 13-year-old from Florida convicted of first-degree murder. He was 12 when he killed a 6-year-old girl with his bare hands. What's bone-chilling is how many times we're hearing of adolescents--or even prepubescents--committing murder. A kid named Kipland Kinkel was 15 when he shot his parents to death in May 1998, then went to an Oregon school and opened fire, killing two and wounding 22.
