A Connecticut jury has cleared Raul Valle of murder and assault charges stemming from a deadly stabbing at a high school party when he was just 16. While the jury deadlocked on several lesser charges, resulting in a partial verdict and mistrial on those counts, Valle—now 20—avoids what could have been a sentence of up to 105 years. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the dramatic verdict that shocked the courtroom, the impact on the victim’s family, and what lies ahead.
