The boy was 10 years old when he killed his neo-nazi father by putting a bullet through his head as he slept. 

Jeff Hall died instantly, but the fate of his son has not been over for the past couple of years, as he is set to appear for a hearing Friday to determine where he will be locked up in his teens, and maybe even his early twenties.

A judge overseeing the case is deciding how not to punish the child for committing second degree murder, but instead how to rehabilitate him as someone who has grown up in an abusive home, causing him to be hostile, even attacking his own teachers, and with beliefs rooted in white supremacism.

Attorneys have gone to war for months deciding what should be best for the boy, who remains unnamed because he is still a minor.

The boy has been living in a juvenile hall and had been evaluated at a state youth detention center to see if a placement would suit him better.

He grew up in detainment: once a small boy who absent-mindedly drew pictures during his hearing is now 13 years old and is more focused. He attends classes and has regular therapy sessions for the violent outbursts that have gotten him kicked out of school and have caused him to assault a teacher with a telephone cord.

 His father Jeff Hall had formerly been a plumber and was a regional leader of the National Socialist movement, organizing Neo-Nazi rallies at Synagogues and had hosted a meeting at his house prior to his death.

The boy who had been 10 years old then, had shot his father at point blank range, behind the ear, as he slept on the sofa after coming home drunk. He later told policemen that he was afraid he was going to have to pick between him and his stepmother.
