A 15-year-old boy was sentenced to 30 years in prison Tuesday for murdering his grandparents after jurors rejected the claim that the antidepressant Zoloft clouded his judgment. The prosecution said Christopher Pittman was simply angry when he committed the murders in November 2001. Pittman's lawyers said they would file an appeal questioning whether the state can constitutionally try someone so young in adult court.
