The Nevada Supreme Court reversed the conviction of the man who shot a Las Vegas teen. The Nevada Supreme Court on Friday overturned the murder conviction of Donald Schuster.
Schuster was convicted in 2006 for the death of 16-year-old Jon Michael Ginoulias. After a heated argument with Ginoulias and Nick Erichett, the teen’s friend, Schuster went to his house and came out with a handgun and started shooting.
Schuster claims he fired his gun in self defense and that he never intended to kill Ginoulias or injure Erichetto.
Schuster was sentenced to life in prison. His attorney appealed the conviction, claiming the presiding judge, Donald Mosley, refused to instruct the jury on the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. The Nevada Supreme Court last week agreed and overturned the jury’s conviction.
Schuster is awaiting a new trial.
