This does not pass the smell test. All the initial reports indicated he was defending the life of his mother.
Even if they drop the charges, doesn't this stain the kid for life, having been charged?
Needs some sunlight.

Spotsylvania teen charged with murder in death of mother's boyfriend
A 15-year-old boy who authorities said shot and killed his mother's boyfriend during a domestic altercation Tuesday afternoon in Spotsylvania County has been charged with second-degree murder.
John Conroy Jr., 37, was found dead in the front room of his home in the 5300 block of Towles Mill Road about 3:50 p.m. Conroy, who shared the home with the teen and the boy’s 36-year-old mother, had been shot multiple times.
Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Pearce said Tuesday that the boy had apparently intervened in a dispute between Conroy and his mother that had gotten physical. The mother had minor injuries when deputies arrived and was treated at the scene.

Harris noted that all homicides in Virginia are initially presumed to be second-degree murder. He said that once the investigation is completed and all forensic evidence has been tested and confirmed, the charges against the boy could be raised, lowered or dismissed altogether.
