There has not been a trial of that extremity since the 1940s where a young man in California murdered another young girl and got sentenced to death. (might have been '39) Either way, this kid won't even be considered for jail time, at least, not in a real jail.

It's not as uncommon an event as you claim.

And no, dude, one's thought process of sitting down and deciding to do something is irrelevant to a criminal act. If I walk into a store and decide on the spot to punch out the clerk and steal the money from the cash register, the fact that I decided to do so without premeditation does not negate the fact that I did it knowing that it was wrong to do it.
