Most states consider the age of reason (where the child knows right from wrong) to be 7. So at 8, he would have known what he was doing if he got a gun and shot 2 people. Though it sounds bad, I hope this was a case of "I was being abused and didn't know any other way out." because at least there is a really good defense for that. That being said, I really can't imagine a jury convicting an 8 year old of murder unless there is hard evidence, like a journal talking about wanting to kill his father.
