I didn't follow the trial but we have to remember that each state has its own laws, which could account for the different approach to the same crime. School shootings are a particularly sensitive topic, as well! It does seem incongruent though to have him tried as an adult and then hold someone else accountable too. I suppose the case was made that they were "accessories before the fact". Sending threatening text messages (father) to the prosecutor probably didn't ingratiate him to the court either
