Some teenagers want to be lawyers, others doctors, firemen, actors, etc….However, mental health experts say that Michael Hernandez always wanted to be a serial killer. In 2004, when he was 14-years-old, the young Florida teen lured a classmate, Jaime Gough, into the bathroom at Miami’s Southwood Middle School, slit his throat and stabbed him at least 42 times.

After 31/2 hours of deliberation, a jury convicted Hernandez, now 18, of first-degree murder. While the defense argued that Hernandez was insane and not criminally responsible for killing his classmate, prosecutors said he was a smart student who wore a windbreaker and latex gloves for the attack in an effort to keep blood off his clothes.

Hernandez’s attorney plans to appeal.
