This is crap.
It is very sad - to be sure. But the article says the dead boy’s father settled in a civil action for $700,000.
So why is this now a criminal matter? They are charging one of the sponsors of this gun show. A man who was not there when to boyd died?
If anything, they should charge the dead boy’s father with intense stupidity.

I agree with you. If I had been of the jury, he wouldn’t have gotten any money either.
While I agree with the sentiment, I personally believe the father has already paid the ultimate price.
I heard someone who has been at the trial speaking this morning and he stated the judge has spent many hours in sidebars with counsel about this video that was played in the courtroom. He has been adamant that the father's reaction at the time of the incident not be played...video or audio. Apparently it is so extreme and anguished that the judge felt it might sway the jury from doing their duty properly.
