INDIANAPOLIS " An Indiana 17-year-old who told authorities he identified with a television serial killer said strangling his 10-year-old brother satisfied a craving like a hungry person eating a hamburger, according to court documents.
Andrew Conley of Rising Sun showed no remorse or emotion as he described choking to death Conner Conley as the two wrestled Sunday, a probable cause affidavit said. He told investigators the child's last words were "Andrew, stop."
Conley said he dragged his brother's body to his car before driving to see his girlfriend, who told investigators the teen "seemed happy, more happy than she had seen him in a while," according to the affidavit. Conley said he dumped the body near a park in the Ohio River community about 90 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
"Sometimes people are just evil," Dearborn-Ohio County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard said. "This is an evil child."
Prosecutors filed preliminary charges of murder against Conley along with a supporting affidavit Thursday. He is being charged as an adult and will appear Friday in court, Negangard said.
now i'm starvin', wonder if there's any hamburgers in the fridge
@dyslexia,
Would a 17 year old usually be classified as an adult in US courts? Or does it vary state by state?
I must say, he does sound more than a little disturbed.
@msolga,
It does vary by state statute as well as discretion of the prosecuting attorney/court.
@dyslexia,
Hello dyslexia. The Dearborn Ohio prosecutor called the child evil. That brings me to this thought.
Are people born evil, or does society, or chemicals (drugs), influence, create, or aid in a person becoming evil.
Is evil innate?
@dyslexia,
This is so disturbing.
The title phrase is certainly vivid.

The human brain can be a very screwed up thing.
A total of 73 percent of all US households have hamburger in the refrigerator.
Perhaps I've always been an old soul, but when it came to hazing siblings I preferred the "purple nurple" to murder.

no such critter as "evil"
A 10 year old boy. So young. I struggle to understand which sense overwhelms me the most right now. The terror that I have thinking about a person who could so casually murder their own family member or the sickness I feel wondering if a 10 year old even could understand things like betrayal, malice, or the finality of death before it was too late.
Such a little boy. He probably thought they were playing.
This is awful.

@dyslexia,
Maybe not, but some critters are evil
