Paul cited a witness who alleges that Kaarma issued threats at a hairstyling salon on April 23. The hairstylist, Felene Sherbondy, quoted Kaarma as saying: "I'm just waiting to shoot some fucking kid," according to the prosecution's affidavit.
They're reporting that the young man's host family lived in the same area as the shooter, and that he was looking for something to drink, as his host family always had Gatorade in the garage. So, if he was looking to steal anything at all, he wanted to steal a drink, and I'm sure he did not entertain the thought that trespassing on someone's property could result in his being shot ( ... )

Its up to the lawyers and such to get the jury to make that stick, and honestly it ought to. They seem to have enough evidence/witnesses to prove that Kaarma and his partner planned to just shoot someone and get away with it.

Petty crime is not worth getting shot over, but if that is what it turns out to be, then youngsters shouldn't be trespassing in the first place... so maybe this example will teach an impressionable youth somewhere a harsh lesson, and some good can possibly come from the whole sorry incident?
