Jury Deliberating Case Of Grower Who Allegedly Shot, Killed Teen In Burglary

DENVER (CBS4) - A jury is deliberating in the case of Keith Hammock.

Hammock, 48, allegedly shot and killed a teenager during a botched marijuana robbery.

Keylin Moseley, 15, died last October after police say he and a friend jumped a fence to get into Hammock's backyard.

The two were apparently trying to steal marijuana plants Hammock was illegally growing.

Hammock shot from a second story bedroom window, killing Moseley and injuring another 14-year-old boy.

Colorado's Make My Day Law does not apply since Hammock did not face a threat to his safety.
