What was once a possible murder case in Oconto County is now being described as self defense.
After 11 days in jail, the Oconto County district attorney decided to release a 17-year-old boy Wednesday. But district attorney Edward Burke says the teen could still face charges for the fight that killed 36-year-old Jason Fotopoulos.
FOX 11 is not naming the teen because he is not facing charges right now.
In a statement Thursday afternoon, district attorney Edward Burke said an investigation concluded the teen was acting in self defense when he punched and killed Fotopoulos. |

| The investigation concluded that he acted in self defense, but we still might charge him, because, hey, we're persecuting attorneys, ruining lives is what we do for a living... |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
