Tyler Juett was discovered ransacking a house in Basford, Nottingham
12 April 2012
The decision to prosecute a trainee builder for murder after he stabbed a teenage burglar to death was "erroneous", a court has heard.
Omari Roberts, 23, was formally found not guilty over the death of 17-year-old Tyler Juett.
He stabbed the teenager after he discovered him ransacking his mother's house in the Basford area of Nottingham in March last year.
He was later charged with murder and attacking Juett's 14-year-old accomplice, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Roberts was due to go on trial at Nottingham Crown Court but at the "11th hour" the Crown Prosecution Service took the decision to drop the charges.
