California – A 12-year-old boy has been found guilty in the shooting death of his neo-Nazi father. As reported by CNN, a California judge ruled that the boy, who was 10 years old at the time of the shooting, knew that his actions were wrong in killing his father and that he had committed second-degree murder.
Jeffrey Hall, 32, was reportedly shot by his son on May 1, 2011 while he was asleep in his home. Prosecutors assert the child was fearful that his family would be split up prior to the killing.
John Hall, a spokesman for the Riverside County district attorney’s office, is quoted as stating of the case, “It was our belief that this would have happened even if (Hall) was not part of the National Socialist Movement… This was done more on a domestic level.”
Placement of the boy is expected to be determined at a hearing that is scheduled for February 15. He could be placed in custody up until he turns 23.
