Steve woke up to the sight of the alarm turning 8. He
got ready in 5 minutes and left to school. His face was bruised
and he was given faces by everyone in school. Everyone were
scared to go near him including Joshua. When they enquired
what happened, Steve just replied that he fell off the stairs.
One of his bullies then stood up and screamed "Steve is
a coward that he got his face fucked up from a staircase fall".
Everybody in the class started laughing. This was the breaking
point for Steve. It was at this moment he realised silence isn't
always the answer and he broke. He took a Beretta pistol from
his bag (that he stole from his father) and closed his eyes. He
saw his bully right in the eyes and without second thought he
took the leap of faith. The room was pitch silent with laughters
turning to silent prayers. The English teacher which Steve hated,
tried to take away his gun. He swifty turns the gun to the teacher
and shoots her in the head. He then shoots the bully and 2 of his
classmates. He loathed the sight of blood and wanted for more.
He then spares his other classmates and says "Call the police
and tell them to pick me up at my house, and don't worry I don't
want to kill you". He goes to his house which is 5 mins from his
school with a blood stained uniform. He bangs on the door and
his mother opens. He shoots her right in the head. He then
reloaded the guns bullets and takes the sharpestknife from the
kitchen table and went on to his dad's bedroom. He sees his dad
kneeling down and praying and crying, holding a picture of his
family within his palm. Before he could even think, he shoots his
dad and stabs him multiple times upto the point he lost his
breath. Steve saw his hands were filled with blood and he held
on to his fathers arms for some time and he saw the picture
within his father's palm. He was overwhelmed and started to
panic. He finally blacked out with the sound of the siren in the
background. The police entered the house and saw both of them
dead and took Steve to the station.
AT THE POLICE STATION:
Steve was taken to the interrogation room and he was
handcuffed to the chair and was unconscious. He woke up and
the police swifty made thier move into the room. Two police
officers entered into the room and interrogated him about the
incident.
Steve started crying as he was afraid not realising not
what he did. From the films he watched he realised that
anything he says will be used against him and he didn't trust the
police either. So he kept quiet and the police were infuriated.
With no further adieu, he was taken to a trial the next day. He
spent the night in jail with two other large sized men who were
inmates who bullied him and tortured him.
AT THE TRIAL:
Steve was charged with first degree murder with 5
counts of murder for the murder of three children and three
adults. The news spread like wildfire and the entire nation was
disgusted with what happened. The judge looked at Steve right
in the eye and asked him if he had anything to say to the court
before the verdict. He was live televised and the entire country
was watching his testimony.
Steve was silent and then as the judge was about to
move on; Steve started to say,
"All my life I was living in fear of hurting any person I knew and
so I always became accustomed being the oppressed. Everything
began when my mom scolded me for watching a film. You guys
get it? A fuckin movie. Anything what I did was a consequence
of my oppression and bullying. I was physically and emotionally
abused by my father and mother. I was bullied at school almost
every day. I was beaten up by everyone I know. I don't know
what I felt at that moment I pulled the trigger, but I can sure say
that I'm relieved my parents are dead and my bully got what he
fucking deserved. And I don't plead guilty, dear judge. I was
being oppressed and if this is the only way I can feel heard then
so be it. Empathy is something every human being deserves. A
small act of empathy would've avoided all this from happening,
yet nobody cared enough to help me when I desperately needed
help.
(Looks straight at the camera)
I declare this a wake up call to every parent who ever imagined
to even touch their children and abuse them. You better watch
out you sick psychopathic assholes. Judge with all due respect,
my parents had it coming but it was the guys at school that
unnecessarily came in the way. That's all I have to say"
The judge hits the gavel three times, as the entire court
gasped in disbelief with what they're witnessing. The police
made everyone quiet and amongst all this darkness, was Steve's
psychotic smirk which terrified not only the court but the entire
nation.
The judge finally passed the verdict,
"Being a mother of two, there's nothing scarier than imagining
the thought of seeing your child for the last time. At the same
time, abuse is real, irrespective of the gender, age, sex or any
discrimination. As per the perpetrator's claim to be a victim,
may or may not be true, it doesn't justify to the slightest bit to
ruthlessly kill them and stab them 45 times. It isn't the work of a
child or a victim but the makings of a clear psychopath who
needs help. Though the perpetrator's 13 years old, he has done
an unforgivable crime and made it insufferable to the families of
the victims.
(Looks at Steve)
Bearing in mind your claim as a victim of physical abuse and
your age being a minor, I hope you heal and become better. With
the collaborative decision of the jury, I hereby sentence A.J. Steve
Marshall to 5 years in Juvenile prison in California and 20 years
in Texas county jail. I truly wish from the bottom of my heart
you would change and contemplate about your life decisions
and reconcile with your innocence. For the casualties caused, the
court offers an amount of $1000 dollars to the families of each of
the victims. "
