Rick Chow, the gas station owner accused of killing 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton, was found not guilty by a jury after eight hours of deliberations. Chow testified that he believed the teen was stealing from his store and was carrying a gun. He claimed he shot Cyrus in self-defense because he feared the teen was about to shoot his son. Members of Cyrus’ family were seen crying and sobbing in the courtroom as the not guilty verdict was read.

I am so proud of the black lawyer representing the innocent man. The rest of the story mattered.
Wtaf?!?!
How in the hell can any juror think it’s ok to chase down and shoot a child over some convenience store items?!?!?
Most of the jury sounds so reluctant…
It’s no stretch to believe that a 14 yo kid walking into a store with a loaded weapon might pull said weapon and use it. The jury got it right and the parents should take accountability for their child’s behaviour.
Jury got it right
No justice for this poor family Iam absolutely in shock!! He got away with murder in plain sight.
