Do you think a first degree murder charge, carrying up to life in prison, is appropriate in this circumstance? Or is a lesser charge, like Depraved Indifference Homicide more appropriate here?

Also, what is in the water in Utah?

This is tricky, but I think I might be ok with a first-degree charge. A 18 y.o. helping and possibly encouraging a 16 y.o. to do this kinda emotionally sways me. If we treat accessories-before-the-fact as principals to the crime, then I think it makes sense.

Yes, this is a disgusting murderous act and he should be put in front of a firing squad, which Utah had the good sense to restore.
