The biggest problem, in my eyes, is that there are people out there who sympathize with these two girls. Asbergers is a fairly serious social disability, but it does not excuse the students behaviour. If they were smart enough to commit that crime, they were smart enough to be aware of the consequences. I don't argue that they correctly articulated what those consequences might be, but I think they knew there would be consequences. I can see this debate going a long way, though.
