"Massachusetts Teen Admitted Killing Popular Teacher, Affidavit Says", written by Ray Sanchez, was published by CNN Justice on January 28, 2014. This article talks about the rape and murder of a high school math teacher in Massachusetts back in October of 2013. The accused suspect of this horrific crime is 15-year-old Philip Chism. In this recent article, it discusses an affidavit that was released to the public, which holds a confession from Philip Chism, who admitted to murdering his teacher. The affidavit also had in writing that Philip had video recordings and photos of the crime in his cell phone. Chism later destroyed that evidence. I chose this article because it portrays the guilt of the juvenile. Philip's guilt was slowly eating away at his conscience, which made him confess to the murder and rape of his high school teacher. It is interesting to read about a juvenile who pleads not guilty to a crime and then months later confess to committing the crime.
