Yeah every time this thread pops up, I'm expecting to read that he somehow managed to kill a female social worker...

Philip Chism, convicted of killing Danvers High School math teacher Colleen Ritzer in 2013 when he was 14 years old, changed his plea to guilty Friday for a subsequent attack at a Department of Youth Services detention center.

Chism, now 25, was 15 when he attacked and seriously injured a 29-year-old female clinician at the Boston facility on June 2, 2014. He was accused of sneaking into a staff locker room bathroom and trying to choke and kill the woman. After other employees came to the woman's rescue and freed her, Chism repeatedly yelled "I'm gonna kill them all," prosecutors said.

Chism is already serving 40 years in prison for the brutal murder of Ritzer. Investigators said he raped and killed the teacher in a school bathroom before dumping her body in a recycling barrel and moving it to the woods.

judge Helen Brown-Bryant sentenced Chism to 17 to 20 years in state prison. The new sentence will run concurrent with his sentence for Ritzer's murder.

I'm not sure what the point is if it's going to run concurrent. I read in another article that he asked for more than the usual sentence because he wanted to take responsibility for his actions. It doesn't matter one bit if he's already serving the 40 year sentence.

Wow, crazy. Thanks for the update, RBW!

I can't believe it has been so long since this happened. Hopefully he never gets out.

He's just literally a bad seed. I wouldn't trust him around society no matter HOW much he insisted that he's been "reformed".
