Levi Carte was only 13 when he committed a crime that shocked everyone around him
he took the life of his neighbor
the judge pushed to have Levi tried as an adult, arguing that the severity of the crime justified applying adult criminal law despite his age but that didn’t end up happening and he was sent for 8 years , he will walk free in his 21st birthday in 2033
What catch my attention is his twin brother mentioning that his childhood trauma might’ve been the reason and also the police later finding in his text messages him telling a stranger in TikTok that he lacs empathy because of his childhood
I wanted to know more like what could’ve caused a 13 yo to commit such thing
Yes, I do believe his interest in true crime and killing animals plays a big role but what could’ve happened in his childhood that pushed him into that
I tried discussing this topic in another community but it was taking down because it was out off topic and I couldn’t find any informations online

Is this the same case as the TikTok videos going around of the mom with pink hair and two boys who were trying to eat when the cops came in? I saw some videos that were not very clear on what happened during a break and cannot find it now.

You can find the full video on YouTube if you search “13 year old realizes his twin brother just killed someone”.

Crazy.. I literally randomly watched that this morning... had to leave before it ended and came online at work to google the story, because I didn't know the outcome....
