She doesn’t look like the kind of kid who would beat another girl to a pulp before repeatedly stomping on her body, choking her, smashing two glass bowls over her head and then using the broken shards to slit her throat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
According to US prosecutors, that’s exactly what 14-year-old Bookey did last Thursday when she allegedly tried to murder her brother’s girlfriend Halle Hickman, 15.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
The assault, which lasted between three to four hours and opened with Bookey allegedly smashing her fists into Ms Hickman’s head up to 30 times, was so brutal she will be tried as an adult.</div>

Authorities claim Bookey told the victim she’d been planning the attack for a week and a half, cycling 17km to her New Richmond, Wisconsin home and tracking her family’s movements in order to establish when the teen would be alone.</div>

“I’m a psychopath,” Bookey allegedly told Ms Hickman. “You’re my first kill.”</div>

Ms Hickman told police that after Bookey slit her throat, she asked if she preferred to “die right now” or “bleed out”, the New Richmond Times reported.</div>

She chose the latter, claiming Bookey then told her to “have a nice afterlife” before leaving the scene.</div>

Documents tendered to court by the St Croix County Sheriff’s Office state that at around 9.30am, Bookey called police to report an attempted abduction.</div>

They arrived to find Bookey with swollen and bruised hands and cuts and scrapes on her legs.</div>

The teen told deputies she was attacked by two masked men armed with a knife while riding her bicycle. She claimed she got rid of the men by telling them there was a girl at home alone in a nearby house and giving them the address, the Leader-Telegram reported.</div>

When police arrived at the home, they found Ms Hickman was lying on the floor bleeding heavily from the face and neck — but conscious enough to tell her rescuers that it was her boyfriend’s sister, not strangers in ski masks, who had done this to her.</div>

Police say Bookey confessed when they confronted her, telling them she blamed Ms Hickman for coming between her and her brother Michael, 16, and that she resented “how happy she made him”.</div>

Bookey told the officers she’d set off for Ms Hickman’s home on her bike at around 4am. She donned gloves before entering the house and making her way to Ms Hickman’s bedroom.</div>

During the second hour of the attack, Bookey agreed to Ms Hickman’s request for a glass of water but warned her she would “slit her throat” after she drank.</div>

Bookey’s mother “teaches zumba in town at the centre. I take her classes mon and weds (sic) at the centre. She’s positive, full of energy. She is heart broken over this. And they DID NOT see it coming …. People are blasting their parenting. They are wrong.”</div>

Kali Bookey has been held without bond at a juvenile detention centre since her July 28 arrest.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
She has been charged as an adult with attempted first degree homicide, which carries a maximum penalty of life.</div>

But is the 14-year-old really a ‘psychopath’, as she so chillingly declared to her victim?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
Probably not, according to leading Australian forensic psychologist Luke Broomhall.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
While it was impossible to be 100 per cent sure with knowing Bookey’s history and the full details of her alleged crime, psychopathy was not officially diagnosed in children under the age of 18, he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Any behaviours in a child that might look like psychopathy could be caused by a number of different conditions or circumstances,” Mr Broomhall said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
“However, hallmark features of adult psychopathy, the callous unemotional traits, have been observed in children. The key question, which can only be answered by thorough assessment, is whether behaviour is a one-off reaction to a specific situation, or represents a pattern of behaviour over time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Whilst Bookey self-proclaimed to be a psychopath, it does not mean she is one. There are other developmental disorders or mental health problems which might lead to the specific suspension of empathy required to carry out such a brutal attack.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
St. Croix County Circuit Court Judge Eric Lundell refused an application by Bookey’s lawyer for the teen to be released into her parents’ custody.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
Bookey is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on August 8.</div>
