We didn't have to wait a few days. Here's the article about the coroner reporting, FUR SHUR, that the kid was SHOT IN THE BACK.
Whole 'nuther story. Guy's going to have to prove some stuff he's not likely to be able to prove.
God have mercy on his soul.
From the article:
"A 16-year-old boy killed during a seemingly innocent late-night prank was shot in the back, according to emergency room records.
Please note, that this is not an autopsy (Coroner's report), but is more in the form of a press release by the attorney for the family, who has stated intent to file a wrongful death suit.
Also from the article: Levin has not been charged in the shooting. His attorney, Bo Hitchcock, did not immediately return a phone message Sunday. Mike Edmondson, spokesman for Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer, declined to comment on the hospital report.
While I'm content to wait and see what the coroner says, but I am also willing to admit it'd be really hard to mix up entry and exit wounds.
If this is the case, and the guy back-shot him, Guy's going to have to prove some stuff he's not likely to be able to prove. and God have mercy on his soul. are two statements I sure can't argue with.
