Well with a lady judge and 6 lady jurors he got let off. The ladies of the jury did their civic duty and the most one can complain about is that her “intuition” said Z had done wrong but there wasn’t enough proof to back up such a notion. But again she seemed to use murder to mean any fighting death she wished hadn’t happened.
The problem is that with men, this may have been a bit more cut and dried.
He**, with ADULTS this would have been more cut and dried. Imagine a male juror going on the talk show circuit and saying “What the he** was this doing in a court room? All the evidence - ALL OF IT - Pointed to self defence. SH**, the kid was beating the crap out of him when he got shot. End of story.
