Scientific research doesn't support your assertion that 14 year olds have a. fully developed moral compass. Especially not adolescent males. And this moral compass is greatly affected by parenting, trauma and other factors.
Furthermore, as I mentioned before, there may be factors we're simply not aware. What if Miller was on the autism spectrum? That could explain both his difficulty expressing remorse and his difficulty determining right from wrong. If that were the case, does he still deserve this scorn?
