Granny Got Her Gun

The Background:

“My grandma shot me,” said a Michigan teenager in an emergency 911 call. The boy died from his gunshot wounds, and now his grandmother is facing homicide charges. Lawyers for the 75-year-old Sandra Layne have said she acted in self-defense, following a heated argument over the boy’s drug use. After several days of trial an Oakland County jury convicted Layne on March 19, 2013, of second-degree murder in the killing of her grandson without premeditation.
