"Mariemont Teen's Mental Health Challenges Highlighted in School Shooting Plot Case"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by WKRC TV Cincinnati
The Hamilton County Prosecutor wants to try the 14-year-old involved in a school shooting plot as an adult, but his defense team argues that it's against everyone's interests, emphasizing the role of an adult predator in the case and advocating for the juvenile court system to address the vulnerabilities of young individuals targeted on social media. Defense Attorney Jay Clark believes that the 14-year-old needs counseling and therapy, and fears that this case is indicative of a larger issue with predators exploiting vulnerable juveniles through social media.
