Agreed, but what do we know about the claim the the kid was running towards the shooter? That being credible would be the make or break issue for me on self-defense.[/quote]

It's a lie, just like how he lied on the stand about taking shots. Just face it, he over-reacted because his car-brain went into overdrive and he wanted to teach a lesson who someone committing a property crime. He got what he deserved.[/quote]

There was a video, wasn't there? But it was too low quality for me to see what was going on.

Did the prosecution dispute the kid was running towards him?[/quote]

He was shot in the chest.  Yes, he was running towards him.[/quote]

Any supporters of the prosecution have an explanation of this?[/quote]

The issue seems to have been that the prosecution said that Lewis came out, shot once or twice at the car/group, then when Blake stay running towards him, shot again.  The defense said that Lewis heard a sound that he thought was a gunshot, that he thought they were shooting, then fired when one of them started coming towards him.  The initial video wasn't clear, whether Lewis shot first or they did or no one did until Blake was running towards Lewis. I don't think the prosecution said how many times, total, that Lewis fired his gun.[/quote]
