Yeah I think because there may be exceptions for long rifles in certain situations so it was a grey area anyway. Handguns are definitely illegal under 18 though.

But in other words, the prosecution has *absolutely* no case here. If this kid goes to prison it will be a sick injustice. This is like the inverse of the OJ trial, cause this time the prosecution has no case and the defendant is actually innocent.

If you read the article it goes into jury instructions on lesser-charges, ie reckless homicide instead of murder 1. Kinda fucked up they get to just change it like that.
