Today Brooke brings you the crime, so grab your loaded tea and let's begin. This is the case of Christopher Pittman who was just 12 years old when, in November of 2001 he shot and killed his grandparents in their home while they slept. He then set fire to the home and fled the scene of the crime. Why will this case make you think and your brain hurt? Well, Christopher at the time of the murder was on a drug called Zoloft, an antidepressant, which became he main defense at trial.
