Send a textOn New Years Eve in 2017, Scott Kologi, a New Jersey teen, fatally shot three of his family members and a family friend with a semi-automatic rifle just before midnight in his childhood home. Prosecutors called him cold-blooded, but his defense attorneys said severe mental illness drove him to kill his family. However, Scott was found competent to stand trial and was eventually sentenced to hundred-fifty-years in prison. So, did Scott kill his family in cold blood or was his mental illness to blame?References:NJ Teen Who Killed 4 Family Members Found Guilty On All Counts | Long Branch, NJ PatchScott Kologi: Guilty verdict in Long Branch NJ family murders'I Doubt I'd Do It Again, but I'm Not Sure': Video of Teen with Autism Confessing to Family Massacre Leads to Guilty Verdicts in New Jersey | Law & CrimeNJ man Scott Kologi sentenced to 150 years for killing 4 family members | New York PostScott Kologi: Teen Who Killed Family on New Year's Eve Gets 150 YearsLong Branch NJ Murder: Scott Kologi Sentenced to 150 Years in Family Killings – NBC New YorkN.J.
