## Resource

A 17-year-old teen is on trial for murder after allegedly stabbing a 30-year-old man in the heart during a botched drug deal in Sydney’s west — all over a $430 debt. The prosecution claims he pulled out a 69cm knife to force the transaction, while the defense argues he suffers from schizophrenia and PTSD, seeing the knife as a comfort object — not a weapon — and that his mental state should reduce his culpability. The jury must decide whether he was an aggressor or a terrified kid acting out of fear — with the potential to shift the charge from murder to manslaughter.
