I think he figured that blonde haired people didn't get picked on and being a red head with freckles made him a target, something that he really can't change, so he probably felt that being bullied would be the story of his life while others who were quote on quote 'acceptable' would be forever exempt. It was a moment of rage, anger and jealousy and a thought of unfairness and not even towards his intended target but to his plight in general, that cost him and will continue to cost him even though he's a free man.

Just FYI jail is where you're put after you're charged until you're sentenced (unless you're granted bail and can afford it), and where you do your sentence if your crime is a misdemeanor (and misdemeanors carry a sentence of 1 year or less). Once you are sentenced for a felony, you are sent to prison, and the term you were looking for was "prison system." I'm not trying to be a hater at all sorry if it comes off that way I'm honestly trying to explain the difference for those who don't know.

One of my old teachers actually knew one of his sisters. She was quite violent, and the school was in a residential I was in. There was a lot more going on in the household that many didn't know about, not necessarily abuse but there was a lot behind what happened that only those close to them in areas where mental health was a concern really know. This is an example of mental health going untreated and just not understood. The mental health system needs to be refined and reformed, it could prevent this from happening again.

I agree with you! As someone who suffers from mild depression and anxiety the mental health system is years behind in progress of what it should be! A lot of doctors will prescribe medicine even though the side effects can do serious harm to people especially if you're the medicine for long periods of time! Finding the right doctor is also a hassle and can be severely frustrating I can't imagine someone with severe mental issues because the help is limited and it can take years to find what you're truly suffering from and get the right help! ! The biggest relief I have found for me is going to the gym , meditation , music and finding stuff to keep your mind busy .

Fran’s (my mom’s best friend) father was home while this was for going on in his backyard. He didn’t hear a thing. Supposedly there was a lot of violence in the home, not that this excused his actions. And if I remember correctly, Smith suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome too. Smith’s great grandfather had been sheriff or police chief of the town, and he was one who figured out that Smith had killed Derrick. He thought that maybe Smith had seen something, and had no idea that Eric would confess. The town was very very small, and it was just horrible.

I don't think that a kid who grew up in prison is exactly going to become an amazing member of society or be capable of living a normal life. He's probably more dangerous now compared to when he went to prison.

School don't know how to resolve it, and if teachers and especially principals can't keep it quiet, they lose their jobs. The problem isn't at the lower levels. It's at the highest level. It started with the federal policy over school set by the Secretary of Education, POTUS, and Congress. There needs to be a federal mandate that states and local government cannot override in order to protect their funding. It all boils down to what people will do to protect their money.

He was a kid

It's like there are no laws. What age is legally a child? The courts decide when to void the established laws when it's convenient. Can a child molester declare the 13-year-old he raped is an adult?

This was a kid that needed help bad, and he spent 30 years behind a system that is the most neglected and dangerous, and we expect him to function properly in a complex society? The system is rigged.

This is terrifying. I grew up always saying “this’ll never happen to me” and getting annoyed whenever my family would tell me to be careful at least five times before I walked out the door. I really only began to understand when my 5 year old sister was born. To think that Derrick was only 4 when he was killed is anxiety-inducing because I love my sister with all my heart and couldn’t even begin to explain how much I care for her and her safety. At any moment, someone could decide to make an attempt on a life. Cherish those who you consider close to you with every ounce of love you can muster and never let them go.

Life for a life

I know everyone’s not the same, but even I was bullied, and pursued as a black kid in a hillbilly town, but I never thought to hurt another child. My mom ran a daycare in our house growing up. My instincts were to protect kids. It’s just sad

Darian, I really believe it's in our genetic code. I personally believe that you either have it in you to hurt another, or it's not in you at all. As is your case. You are just not someone who could hurt another. Thankfully, 98% of us are like you. It's the 2% who get the F'd up genetic code that go on to do this. I would have never let this guy loose on society.

This is why people need non judgmental mental health care. Sadly he needed healthy anger releases, and ways to express his frustrations. Was anything ever done to any of the bullies. It obviously had to be bad to drive such a young kid to do such acts.

Anybody who has been bullied or faced harsh adversity in their youth can look within and admit “ok sure, yes there is a part of me that fantasized of revenge; making them feel what I felt.” But I have to believe for most normal people that’s typically reserved specifically for the one who caused you pain and even then we simply never act on it, in attempt to set the best example. I’ve never understood the impulse to direct wrath at a completely innocent soul who had nothing to do with your suffering.

It's a type of emotional projection. When the bullied kid is powerless against his bullies, he takes it out on the weaker, younger kid. That's how most humans are, including adults, if they cannot control themselves.

You let out a psychopathic monster. He feels no remorse about what he did. He has learned to say what the therapists want to hear and how to fake an emotional response. Psychopaths do not get better. They simply learn to play the game.

Also, those things he said are just cliches - he said nothing of actual personal aspirations/goals or the logistical steps to get there. There was no acknowledgement of how unrealistic it may be to get out and successfully develop healthy relationships, find employment, housing etc (or even have any kind of a "normal" life at all after everything that has happened). What type of person would want to date or marry & have children with him? I shudder to think. He's likely going to be lonely & ostracized just like when he was young & we all know how well he coped with those struggles back then. He brutalized a helpless child because he was hurting. What will happen if those feelings overtake him again?

I'm not sure how to feel about this one. He obviously must have had some serious problems to do that at age 14. But he is 42 now. Nobody is really the same person they were in their 40s as they were at 14. I'm not sure locking him up for 28 years to be around nothing but other criminals was the right solution either. I think they should have at least tried to help him at age 14.

He's a sociopath. Sociopathy NEVER goes away. Sociopath at 14 = sociopath at 114.

One thing the news and investigation did not like to talk about back then was that Eric not only strangled and beat this precious boy with rocks, he also sodomized him with sticks once he was dead. What always stayed with me when this happened all those years ago was that Eric kept riding his bike all around law enforcement and the volunteers who were looking for the little boy. During the investigation, they played the videos of Eric, not only riding around, but he was all excited around the confusion and tense atmosphere. It was quite creepy when they showed a clip of him trying not to smile in to the camera. 28 years was not enough. JMO.
