Something still doesn't work here. If the game was 'knock and run' Levin should never have seen them. He had to get up, get his gun, go to the door, open it.....etc. If he pursued the 'prankster' and shot him, that smells really bad, but how did this 40+ guy do the above and catch up to these kids?
In his straits, I'd get the best lawyer money can buy, too.
It is up the courts, now.
The ballistics will tell the story regarding the distance he shot from. He didn't have to catch up to the kid. The prosecutor looked at this for 3 weeks before pressing the manslaughter with weapon charge, not murder. This seems to be the right fit for the crime. Levin had another attorney who supposedly got a guy acquitted on a similar situation. Apparently after they looked at the case, I'm sure Mr. Levin looked at the mess he's in and decided to mortgage his and probably his parents' belongings to get Roy Black and try to beat this. From the local news today this may is shaping up to be a big case.
What is interesting is that this is not a big-money neighborhood where this happened. How can he afford one of the most expensive lawyers in the country?
