A 10-year-old boy accused of shooting his mom dead because she refused to buy him a $500 VR headset has asked for his bond to be lowered from $50,000 to $100.
Prosecutors said Quiana Mann, 44, was shot in the face by her son, who went on to use her credit card to purchase an Oculus VR headset before telling his grandma he was 'sorry' for killing his mother and asking where his package was.
The boy's attorney, Angela Cunningham, argued in court on Wednesday that his bail should be lowered to only $100, the amount he has in his piggy bank, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
'We have spoken to him about his ability to post anything,' Cunningham told the court.
'He told us about piggy banks with savings that he had from gifts, from birthday gifts. And scavenging through cushions in the couch that he's been able to save up.'
Judge Jane Carroll denied the request and imposed a travel restriction on the minor that will go into effect if he manages to post bail.
The child who, according to family members has 'rage issues' and hears imaginary people, has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide and will be tried as an adult.
Wisconsin state law dictates that children as young as 10 will be charged as adults for serious crimes, such as murder. He faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted.
The fact that the boy will be tried as an adult has created some headaches for Carroll, as she noted that all the usual factors when deciding bail conditions 'don't make a lot of sense when applied to a 10-year-old.'

Better watch out Judge
Why did the 10 yr. old have access to the gun?
The Black culture is what traps these kids. They need to assimilate to escape.
One thing is almost certain - the kid was NEVER spanked.
Is this kid disturbed...deeply disturbed? You betcha! Might he turn out at 20 to be a psychopath? Yes,that's possible. But for now he should be ordered to undergo serious psych treatment...probably in a secure facility.
But anything more? No,not at that age.
Good question!
While the mom was busy doing laundry, he stole her keys and unlocked the safe where her gun was stored.
This kid knew exactly what he was doing.
where was the father?
“Judge, can I have my VR headset now. Also, have mercy on me, I’m an orphan.”
She looks like a nice lady.
It’s a pity she didn’t paddle her boy’s butt more as a child, she might still be here.
Who was the father?
Being black somewhere else.
This kid is probably/likely psychotic. Schizophrenia is not curable. he will be in an institution forever.
I’m reminded of the dog whisperer episode of South Park where Cartman struggled with his inner demons while seeking to kill his mom.
The boy grew up, hung out with, went to school with other Black kids who aren't the best behaved. Blacks need to get out of the hood and assimilate to escape the ghetto rap punk life that traps them.
Let him out. The mama was purty, that means one of her homeys might just be takin’ offense she gone.
The gun was kept in a locked gun safe. The kid knew where the key was.......................
That home in the store is in “the hood”?
