Any update on this? The context won't matter if he comes off as an aggressor in the video which he did. The smaller boy didn't strike him and had his guard down and was thrown.
The other kid was just in the background and he didn't strike first either, to a bystander it looked like he was trying to get him to calm down and he got attacked too. That kid could make an argument that he was defending himself.
Then he attacked the other kid after they were separated and drew blood. Thats enough for any court(if the family of those boys move to press charges) to decide that its time for him to go to juvie if he's not given a heavier sentence since he looks more mature than the other kids regardless of his actual age.
We don't need more kids in the prison pipeline. His texts about the event seem nonchalant too. All of that shyt is going to hurt him if this goes to court, which he better pray it doesn't especially if this is a southern state
