Most expressions of remorse by young offenders are insincere boilerplate fed to them by lawyers and parents. You have to be pretty naive to put much stock in them.
Young offenders legislation is there because our justice system recognizes the diminished capacity of minors, and the public interest in ensuring they aren’t permanently stigmatized by their offences. I’m not sure why we should treat this case differently from thousands of other minors who carry out predatory criminal acts.
