In 2008 in Cocekysville, MD, an affluent suburb of Baltimore, 15 year old Nick Browning was an honor student working on becoming an Eagle Scout when he decided to kill his entire family. He claims it was because of abuse but with no evidence to backup these claims the courts struggled to believe the allegations and took his lack of remorse and casual attitudeas proof he was nothing more than a stone cold killer.
