the jurors couldnt agree it was planned?? he admitted to planning it by saying he saw the kid earlier in the day on his way somewhere knew he would come back loading his shotgun and sitting on his front porch waiting for him? if that isnt planned i dont know what is.

From the article he planned at shooting at the kid, it wasnt just a scare tactic because he wouldnt have loaded the gun if he was just trying to flash the kid a scare.
So i would say it was premeditated because a shotgun blast to a 15 year old boy from rather close range isnt just gonna hurt it would appear that his intentions were to kill or maime the boy. Just my thoughts on it though.

“Prosecutors alleged Martin had confronted the teen earlier in the day when he walked into Martin’s yard on his way to a friend’s house, then loaded his .410-gauge shotgun and waited more than three hours for him to return.”
The man didn’t say he planned it, that is what the prosecution was trying to portray. Case in point the guy was going to do something, but didn’t have it planned. The gun was probably near and obviously already loaded.
