The victim was not a man, he was a minor.
Having weed residue in your book bag a few days ago doesn't mean that on the night in question he was dealing drugs.
However, mental instability and the violent criminal record of the ADULT MALE who killed the minor is relevant because he KILLED someone who was walking along minding his own business and when he was told to not approach his victim, he did so anyway.
"Those __________ are always getting away."
The law that zim hope to protect him was never designed to protect the person who starts an altercation with someone and when that person defends himself, the initiator kills his target.
As for "looking suspicious" or looking like an adult-- that argument never holds up for cases of statutory rape and it should not hold up here.
Or as a society, do we not want consistency when it comes to the application of our laws and the protection of our law abiding citizenry?
