A teenager from Boston High School was charged Monday for fatally stabbing a fellow classmate, according to the Star Tribune. The suspect's defense attorney argued that the teen was mentally ill. John Odgren killed 15-year-old James Alenson in January 2007.
Odgren took a carving knife to school the day of the alleged murder after watching killing videos that morning. He then waited in a boys' bathroom and when no one came in, he moved to a second bathroom where Alenson walked in as well.
Immediately following, a student said they heard Odgren say "I didn't mean to kill him. It was a mistake." And later asked police how much time would be served for manslaughter.
Bipolar disorder does run in Odgren's family.
