Radio and newspaper stories I heard and read referred to the 17 year old as a boy. While maybe technically correct from a legal perspective, Common parlance does not generally refer to 17 year olds as boys. Adolescent, teenager, etc. are more common. Do you think the press is unbiased? No way. They want to generate sympathy for this “boy”. Ridiculous.
