I can buy that he did not have the intent to kill the man. But he obviously did have the intent to harm, even seriously, the official when he struck him in the face/head. If he lost his temper and wanted only to lash out, then a blow to the stomach would serve that purpose. This kid went for the head.
Do I want him locked away forever? No, of course not. But 3 years max in a juvenile detention facility is not enough for what he did.
