If he thought he was shooting at a mannequin, and it turned out to be a guy who was practicing posing as a mannequin, then yes - a reasonable jury would likely reduce the charges.

So how do you determine what he believes? Do you automatically assume he believes everything he reads on the internet?

Remarks in the transcripts along - 'don't tell your parents, I can get in a lot of trouble' or 'here's how you can sneak out without them knowing' indicate that he knows he's doing something wrong.

The defense can continue this nice claim that it's part of the fantasy play, but I suspect that it won't be very convincing.

The definition of this varies by area. Los Angeles and Baton Rouge would not define this the same way.

BTW - I'm now seeing why people think you're a pretty liberal person, Billvon. Not that it makes you a bad guy

Just playing along... Like the so-called "John Rich", who is really Sarah Brady posing as a gun enthusiast.
