A twelve year old does not have the same mental capacity for making decisions as a 16 year old. It's hard to say what constitutes a cold blooded killer. I remember the movie The Bad Seed where the little girl was killing people and no one believed that she could be the one. But some children are just as capable as adults to commit murder.
