You are basically slut shaming the victim.
All of that history points to a lot of issues that led up to this and things that need to be fixed but it doesn't justify how a farmer reacted on that day.
And we need to stop calling them armed thugs. No one in the Stanley family saw the broken gun until after Colton was dead. Stanley didn't claim self defense. However Boshie got shot the gun in the vehicle was not a factor.

It may be irrelevant from legal standpoint, but it may affect the overall picture and general sense of "fairness" or "injustice" of the verdict.
