The kid was taking burglar bait and may well have burgled the place before. The home owner set it up with a partially open garage door the killed the punk when he entered the garage. Owner’s big mistake wa that he and girl friend boasted about baiting for the burgla. Punk kid got what he had coming but home owner is going to pay dearly for it though I could not have voted to convict.
There’s only one side of the story claiming they “boasted” of doing this.
