Not guilty and the jury should agree. That being said, not sure about the merit of a 17YO walking around armed in a powder keg of a situation.
The adults didn't seem to have the balls to do the right thing.... including the ones paid to do the right thing. So by your standard a 17 yr old doesn't have the right to defend himself? WTF is wrong with you?
Half the country probably feels like he didn't have the right to self defense which is the sad part...They probably feel like the prosecuting attorney in that he should have just duked it out with the adult convicts that were threatening him, and somehow that would be better because the only person that might have been killed was the kid that was there to provide first aid and put out fires...He should have let the convicts take his weapon too in their eyes..
