Read the statements that were put out by the lead juror,the decision to find guilty was based on she was the last adult to have hands on the weapon.

Everything else was an afterthought.

technically if one wants to split hairs,it could have also been the school official who handed the backpack back to the kid while noting it was heavy after finishing a meeting about a gun.

They tried a case based on gun accountability in a state that had no safe storage laws.

Which is kinda cool because now if somebody else’s child or teenager causes you harm,you can sue the parents or hold them criminally negligent because they should have raised their brats better.

Arrest the parent if their child shoplifts,because they should have known in advance that their child had the capability to shoplift.
