The issue of whether minors should be tried as adults has come up again in the Massachusetts case of 16-year-old Philip Chism, who is charged with raping and killing a 24-year-old math teacher. A judge recently ruled that the boy’s confession to police that he murdered the teacher cannot be used in his trial. Former FBI agent Christopher Voss explains why he believes Chism should be tried as an adult, particularly because the suspect seemed to have planned out aspects of the crimes in advance, in this short clip from the full-length episode of Crime Time, hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
