Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen for all your time and service. I believe my client is innocent of these charges and you must keep in mind that if you have a reasonable doubt in your mind that this boy is innocent then u must vote not guilty and save his life.

One way is the father is taller then his son, how would my client stab the father in a downward position if he was shorter then him. It would've been in a upward due to the position of the knife, my client would've had to reach all the way up in the air and he still wouldn't have a chance to stab downward on such the angle it was.
