SANFORD, Fla. – State prosecutors have decided not to file charges against the Sanford homeowner who fatally shot a 17-year-old during an attempted car burglary in May, according to the attorney for the teen’s family. Sanford police said a homeowner on Garrison Drive shot Adrien Green in the middle of the night on May 6. State Attorney Phil Archer said in June he would personally review the case and evidence. State Attorney Phil Archer released a statement Tuesday, saying he will not pursue charges. “There is no question that this incident is a tragedy with heartbreaking consequences that touch not only the Green family, but our community as a whole.

SANFORD, Fla. – A Central Florida defense lawyer said, based on the evidence released so far, the fatal shooting of a teen killed in an apparent burglary in Sanford doesn’t appear to be a clear case of self-defense. The lawyer’s analysis comes one day after the fatal shooting, as friends and loved ones of the teen killed are begging for answers. Attorney Mark O’Mara has no connection to the case but said it doesn’t appear to be a clear case of self-defense. O’Mara was the defense lawyer for George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the 2012 fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin. “It’s just really questionable.”O’Mara said it’s also important to know how far Green was from the homeowner and more about Green’s behavior during the encounter.
