This kid's parents (or whoever raised him/has continued to guide his life) are the #### holes in this situation. The kid doesn't get a pass but arguing over how much blame he should catch is somewhat moot. He does not deserve benefit of the doubt at this point.
But his parents are the true villains; they let their kid get away with this his entire life. They raised him and didn't teach him that this isn't behavior that's acceptable. It was incumbent on them to reinforce this in the time since the court case, and they have clearly failed to do so (even potentially trying to dispel his remorse or otherwise bury the case.)
Let's focus our collective upheaval at the Parents of Mitchell.
