UN DAMN BELIEVEABLE!! 
NO JUSTICE FOR LAWRENCE KING!
A jury on Thursday said it is deadlocked in the trial of a California teen charged with killing a gay classmate at a Ventura County junior high school, but the judge has ordered the panel to resume deliberations.
The nine-woman, three-man panel told Ventura County Superior Court Judge Charles Campbell they have not been able to reach a unanimous decision, which was first reported by the Ventura County Star.   
Jurors asked Campbell to better clarify jury instructions about a person who acted rashly and someone of average disposition. Campbell told attorneys on both sides he would define the former as quickly and impulsively, while the latter would be described as a person of ordinary self-control.
The jury has been deliberating since Friday on whether Brandon McInerney, now 14, is guilty of first-degree murder in the slaying of 15-year-old Larry King at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard in 2008. Jurors also have the option of voluntary manslaughter, which carries a maximum 21-year prison term.
The brazen shooting in front of stunned classmates in a computer classroom gained wide attention when authorities dubbed it a hate crime because King was gay and evidence suggested McInerney had white supremacy leanings. Extensive news coverage persuaded Campbell to move the case from Ventura County to neighboring Los Angeles County.
Prosecutors contend McInerney, who is being tried as an adult, made a conscious decision to kill King during a computer lab class. They said McInerney told others he wanted to hurt King in the days leading up to the slaying and he hid a .22-caliber handgun in his backpack before pulling the weapon out and shooting his classmate twice in the back of the head.
Defense attorneys do not deny McInerney killed King, but they said their client came from a violent upbringing. They say he snapped when he heard moments before the shooting that King wanted to change his first name to Latisha.  


TO THIS JURY…YOU NEED TO GIVE A DAMN!!….THIS CHILD WAS POINT BLANK MURDERED! BY A KID WHO HAS A HORRIBLE PAST. 
Bottom line murder is murder!
