Kat -- the two boys involved planned to kill Cassie and her boyfriend, and then go on stabbing a list of some 20 people they'd put together. Her boyfriend is alive only because he left early that night -- I understand that he's in therapy and actually doing well.
I'm following this case because a member of my Board of Trustees is the public defender defending one of the boys. He (according to a phone call I had with him and talking with his father) is NOT in the best psychological shape since he can't share his knowledge with anyone else. His dad thinks that he might need some counseling himself when this is over.
