Admittedly, it was a bad situation all the way around, but I think this was probably the best resolution that could have come of it.

The stunt, however, will not lead to charges against three juveniles in the case - two of whom had stolen a set of Jamison's keys earlier that day. Jamison himself requested that prosecutors not charge them, because they have been through enough already

I'm not sure I could get on board with this part of it. When someone sets out to steal a car from an old man and someone gets killed, there has to be consequences a little more serious than feeling bad.

With people in the house, and someone knocking at the door, Jamison was "essentially trapped within his home by unknown parties," they wrote. "

awesome way to word their decision...
