That is where I believe the crime was committed in this case.
As far as admitting the files of this juvenile, it shouldn't happen. After all, he is still a juvenile and juveniles are not judged under the same weight as an adult for obvious reasons.

In truth, I can see both scenarios, one with TM confronting and being the aggressor and one with GZ confronting and being the aggressor, but I have to lean towards TM doing the confronting solely because where the fight takes place. If the fight happened halfway between the “T” and where TM was staying then I would feel that GZ did chase, hunt or go after TM. But the fight happens much to close to where GZ is parked then to TM’s house giving that TM ran approximately 3-4 minutes before the fight supposedly happened.
Let me explain. If someone sees someone they’re following or watching run and turn a corner, but the person following or watching only go as far as the corner. And no evidence points to them turning same corner and continue to follow, especially when they have more than enough time to do just that. I’ll conclude that they were following and watching but not truly intent on confronting because I feel a person intent on confronting would have continued down pass the corner. Now after some time the corner becomes the scene of an altercation it’ll seem more plausible that the person came back to the corner and started or initiated the altercation.
It just makes no reasonable sense for TM to still be at the “T” or anywhere near the “T” if he indeed ran from GZ like GZ stated and even RJ stated.
Also why can’t you believe its possible, its sure not out of the realm of possibilities for a 17 year old to do just that, especially if he was bigger or taller than the other person.
