A Florida teen who stabbed his classmate to death last year will not face murder charges, a judge ruled on Wednesday.

Collier County Judge Lauren Brodie agreed that 15-year-old Jorge Saavedra acted in self-defense when he knifed Dylan Nuno, 16, after a fight at a bus stop, WINK-TV reported.

"(He) had more than enough reason to believe he was in danger of death or great bodily harm," she wrote in her decision.

Saavedra, who was 14 at the time of the killing, was protected under Florida's Stand Your Ground law, which stipulates that people can defend themselves if they feel threatened by any means necessary, NBC 2 reported.

Brodie heard from multiple witnesses who testified that Nuno initiated the fight and had been harassing Saavedra for more than a year.

"The facts were consistent. There was a group of boys harassing Mr. Saavedra, repeatedly threatening Mr. Saavedra, on the day this incident happened,” Saavedra's attorney Donald Day said. “Not one boy, but a group of boys had threatened physical violence."

The victim should have gotten help before hand, if you're being bullied for a year and there are threats being thrown your way, do something about it. Not to mention all the "witnesses" who knew the victim was getting bullied that entire year, why didn't they get help sooner? Violence isn't the solution, murder is NEVER the solution. Whether the murder was intentional or not was not disclosed in the OP's segment so I can't say for certainty but the "victim" needs to be put into therapy ASAP. Keep in mind that bullies are just a bunch of kids, if you get adults (or the police) involved then there is NOTHING they can do, in fact you can be put under protective care if it escalates to a point where you are 100% sure you are unsafe.

Some kids would rather chose not being outcast as a snitch over their own safety. It's stupid I know, but in the persons mind they think that by getting an adult or the police involved in a situation going on in school/the bus between students, that; A)They show that they can't handle themselves(which most kids wouldn't be willing to admit) and B)They're making things unfair by bringing in a third party individual(which no one likes). Even though these thoughts are completely irrelevant compared to ones own safety, the thought of being unliked in a place you have to go to pretty much everyday, is overwhelming to anyone who cares.

I wouldn't call this an outright murder case, considering how that child felt that his own life was in danger. IMO there could really have been much better coursees of action than actually taking a life, though.

It's justified and not justified at the same time, depending on how you look at it.
