Overview
- The court found manslaughter proven and rejected the teen’s self-defense claim after evidence and wound patterns conflicted with his account.
- The PIJ measure places him in a closed youth institution for intensive treatment that typically lasts at least three years and can be extended or converted to adult TBS.
- The sentence matches the Public Prosecution Service’s demand for the maximum one-year juvenile detention supplemented with youth TBS.
- Judges highlighted earlier serious incidents, including street robberies, and also convicted him of two attempted violent thefts.
- The defendant did not attend the verdict, will be notified through his lawyer, and both parties have two weeks to appeal.
