The teenager who was trying to pick up his brothers had gone to the wrong Kansas City address in April, when homeowner Andrew Lester opened fire on him through the door.

Lester had told police he was afraid when he pulled the trigger.

Lester has been charged by prosecutors with felony first-degree assault and armed criminal action. He's pleaded not guilty to all charges.

For the same reason republicans get defensive when people talk about holding Nazis accountable.
