School shooter Jesse Osborne pleads for mercy while victims' families seek justice.

TL;DR Summary
Jesse Osborne, a school shooter who killed a first-grader in South Carolina when he was 14, is asking a judge to reconsider his life sentence without parole.

However, the teacher, principal, and parents of the victims all opposed Osborne's request, stating that they don't want to see him out of prison. Osborne is serving two life sentences after pleading guilty to the shooting.
