Wisconsin man William Zelenski allegedly gunned down 18-year-old Ryelee Manante-Powell after confronting the teen about stolen exotic pets in October 2020. The prosecution claims the 46-year-old pet owner hunted down Manante-Powell and shot him with a double-barrel shotgun with malice, while Zelenski’s attorneys claim the shooting was in self-defense. The Law&Crime Daily team breaks down highlights from the murder trial so far.

Steal from the mob and see what happens .
Set her own son up. Horrible mother
He got shot for stealing. So, there's that. Eff around and find out.
Wow some accidents seem to happen when someone is screaming fight me like a man…and one has a gun some accident lol 😂 idiots
a 14 year old steals then puts water back… then gets shot. Lessons to learn:
1. Stop stealing or get prepared to face extreme consequences
2. F*k around and find out
3. Shooting a 14 year old kid over water is not smart. Even though he was stealing, and you caught him, and he was wrong, it was not worth his life. Think we all agree on this.
4. If he wasn't shot, would he have continued to steal? If you don't stop him, who will? Police will not do anything over 4 bottles of water. Should owner shut down the store completely if theft from him and others continue? Should this kids (and others) actions dictate the owners financial stability for him and his family?
Horrible situation all around for the kid, for family of kid, for store owner, the store owner family, nobody wins. All because a kid was stealing.
He has all this expensive reptiles but I’m guessing didn’t have insurance? Why not just file a insurance claim instead you kill someone over this
Why does a 14 year old have a gun?
Why is he keeping exotic reptiles?!
Give that attorney an Oscar, i almost believed him
At first I thought he'd stolen reptile faces.
What lizard is worth 17k? He making up these numbers
SHOULDN'T have BEEN STEALING! He would still be alive!
Don’t ever steal a man’s reptiles.
never bring a lizard to a gun fight.
… karma's taking care of these people , with a dose of justice,,no way is zelinski innocent!!!
This kid attorney in Wisconsin should be ashamed of himself for telling that lie, he knows he murdered that kid and the horror of that is undeniable!
What a cowardly mongrel,DP 💯 Shes just stinkn flyblown trash, DP 💯🇦🇺
Thief's are scum
Death penalty for stolen animals? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Andy Chow should be given the key to the city.
What is up with reptile folks and murdering
Wackos, murderers, and GQP in WI.
Sounds like justice has already been served. What am I missing?
shouldn't of stole
