School shooter Jesse Osborne seeks mercy in sentencing for 2016 attack.

Jesse Osborne, who was sentenced to life in prison for killing a first-grader and injuring two other students and a teacher in a school shooting in South Carolina in 2016, is requesting a reduced sentence. Osborne's attorney argued that the judge did not consider a psychologist's report that Osborne engaged in the shooting because of abuse and that he could be rehabilitated. Witnesses of the shooting said that Osborne should remain in prison for the rest of his life. The judge did not make a final decision on a reduced sentencing during the hearing.
