Story is 3 months old, but I find only one story since then which mentions only that he was indicted for 2nd murder and felony with a firearm.

In March, deputies with the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Department say Doggett shot and killed his mother’s boyfriend, 36-year-old John Conroy Jr., in the home where they all lived. An investigator on Wednesday testified that Conroy took three bullets to the chest and two to the back.

According to detectives, the teen told them he was afraid of Conroy Jr., who was mentally ill and off his medication. Doggett said he shot the victim after Conroy Jr. hit his mother, who was asking Conroy Jr. to move out.

During Wednesday’s preliminary hearing, the judge ruled that Doggett did not have the right to use deadly force because the victim wasn’t armed.

The lawyer or DA that would prosecute this is a fool and so is this judge for allowing it to continue.

Conroy took three bullets to the chest and two to the back.

WARNING: there are some foul words used in the discussion, if that stuff bothers you, then don't read through it.

The link provided goes onto a discussion about the subject. At least one woman says things quite to the contrary of the "evil abuser beats woman, brave son kills abuser" storyline.

"In the Commonwealth of Virginia, all homicides are presumed by statute to be second-degree murder,” said Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Captain Jeff Pearce. “In this case, while it's being investigated in consultation with the commonwealth attorney, they felt that would be the appropriate charge to place on the juvenile at that time. As the investigation nears its completion, which should be done rather quickly, the evidence, the facts are presented to the commonwealth and they then make the determination to either raise it to a more significant charge, reduce it to a lesser charge or dismiss it all together."

Deputies say because the investigation is the still in the early stages, they would not say if there was a previous domestic violence history between Conroy and the suspect's mother.

For now, the 15-year-old will remain behind bars until his next court appearance in three weeks.
