109. they are re-trying him on the murder charge

They said so at the press conference after the verdict. Why wouldn't they re-try him? That case had more evidence than most I've seen.

How you can be guilty of attempted murder on the three other boys and HUNG on the killing of the first one is because of the obvious circumstances of the case. The last two of the three volleys of shots were randomly into the car as it was retreating and at people who at no time threatened him in any way - they just happened to be in the same car.

For some reason three people believed that he was in fear of his life from the one boy that he had words with and killed. Unfortunately, since the SYG law went into effect it has been written into the basic self-defense laws meaning that no longer is it that a person can be legitimately afraid for their life or great bodily harm to themselves according to the "reasonable person" standard, it has been changed to whether or not the defendant actually believed they were in fear or their life or great bodily harm regardless of whether it was reasonable according to the "reasonable person" standard. Therefore, really paranoid easily frightened people can legally get away with claiming self-defense that isn't and be found not guilty for it because the jurors are required to follow the law. How these three jurors could believe that he was in fear of his life by the boy he had words with and killed with all the piles of evidence that show otherwise along with all his conflicting stories of what occurred and what he did and did NOT do after he left the scene is beyond me.
