Having only read the story you posted, it's a tough case to comment on. The youths admit to trying to steal a truck at a neighbouring farm, yet claim they were at the accused's farm for help. Not sure I buy that. On the other hand, there is a big discrepancy between the accused and his son's testimonies, as well as the 'gun just went off' thing, which is also fishy as hell. Sounds like both sides are not being totally forthright, so how do you determine guilt? What's there to say, other than this is a really sad case?
