I dissent from the opinion and decision of the majority because I am firmly convinced that the defendant, a young boy, has been unjustly and harshly dealt with. The testimony shows clearly and overwhelmingly, that he is not a murderer; that he was defending his father and their house from invasion by a dangerous and unruly crowd of about twenty people, when he struck the fatal blow. I think the facts are conclusive and show a justifiable homicide at most, and in truth a killing in self-defense.
