A jury has been unable to reach a verdict in the murder trial of Brandon McInerney, the 17-year-old accused of shooting a gay classmate to death in 2008.
The jury began deliberating Friday, weighing eight weeks of testimony in a trial that included nearly 100 witnesses. Many of those testifying were students and teachers at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard who saw tensions on campus rising after 15-year-old Larry King began coming to school dressed in makeup and girl's boots.
McInerney, then 14, shot King twice in the back of the head in a school computer lab on Feb. 12, 2008. The prosecution says it was a calculated murder carried out in part because McInerney was exploring white supremacist ideology and didn't like homosexuals.
Defense attorneys painted a different picture, that of a bright but abused 14-year-old who snapped after being sexually harassed by King.
The trial was followed closely by gay-rights groups that have fought hard to protect gay and transgendered students from campus bullying. But as the weeks of testimony rolled on and a more nuanced portrait emerged of what was happening at E.O. Green in the weeks before the shooting, it also raised a host of thorny questions.

Then why are not you, as a part of “We The People,” responsible for letting Barack Obama take office?
Government schools are corrupt. Teachers agree to take a paycheck to organize them, bring them into existence, and keep them going.
Government teachers are either evil, stupid, or both. It is time we stop thinking of them as Mother Teresas.
If Barack Obama is a natural born citizen he has absolutely every constitutional right to remain in office. As for his eligibility, there are constitutional and legal means to purse that question and these peaceful and legal means are being pursued. In 2012 he will be constitutionally removed.
Are **you** suggesting treason? I HOPE NOT!
In contrast, government schools fundamentally violate **every** part of the First Amendment. This is intrinsic to the socialist foundation upon which they are built. They can not be fixed.
Government teachers open the schools. They willingly take money for violating the human and First Amendment Rights of students, and they are fundamental to the corrupt system. I hold them in contempt.
Why didn't the family stop him from wearing feminine clothing and makeup?
Treason, schmeason... just that you are part of a country that managed through a million blind eyes to get Barack Obama elected. Forget the issues with his birth status as an American, which he still can’t prove and has presented multiple forgeries in an attempt to show. This man was a cipher and had a sleazy background in numerous other ways. Good grief, 23 or so Social Security numbers? He couldn’t get one for each of the 57 states? Orly Taitz is trying to take him down with a legal popgun — it’s laughable. Like trying to put out a forest fire by peeing on it.
Yes, entire countries can be evil, just as systems within that country can be evil. If public schooling is an evil, so is the USA... and yes I am darned lucky I can say that.
Oh my, we mustn’t think an entire country evil... thoughtcrime!
Thank you government schools! In one to three generations we had:
the IRS
The Federal Reserve
Wilson
the failed one world attempt the the League of Nations
unions
feminism
direct election of Senators
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal
Johnson's Great Society
the end of the gold standard.
The earliest government schools offered up generic and lukewarm Protestantism. My grandmother ( born 1894) attended godlessly secular schools with a sprinkle of prayer. By 1964, when I graduated government schools were utterly godless.
Result: Obama!
Thank you government teachers! /s
Back in my day bullying had a higher threshold than just verbal banter that someone didnt like.
Same here, in my day, bullying meant you receiving the wedgie, the swirlie, the stuff in your food that made your urine blue, and so on, it usually constituted physical action, and it was humiliating as well.
In my experience however, my parents gave me the personal treatment, as well as my siblings, and demonstrated what they did right. Personally, with those two factors in place, it wasn’t likely that I ever resorted to extreme measures, because my parents gave me a pretty good idea of what I was capable of achieving in the future, and it wasn’t worth throwing away for some temporary personal justice, that pretty much throws away most of my life. My father also was a hunter, but he was pretty strict on me for the basic old-school fighting as a kid, and his trust to ever go hunting with him, or ever even be trusted to hold a gun or knife was based on the fact that you as his kid had serious self-restraint on not getting into a fistfight.
Again, the sad story is that plenty of parents don’t give the discipline to the extent and effect that my father did, which is pretty sad.
The boy is guilty.
Time served.
NEXT!
I know.
Good rant by the way.
thank you, I feel better now, LOL
