McInerney, then 14, made a conscious decision to kill Larry the next day, telling a friend he planned to shoot his classmate, she said. He hid a gun in his backpack and brought it to E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard, the prosecutor said.
"He intentionally got that gun; he told people what he was going to do," Fox said. "He shot and killed an innocent person."
The case has drawn widespread attention because of factors such as violence against gays, a shooting at a junior high school, the ages of both teens and the specter of white supremacy that prosecutors contend motivated McInerney to kill Larry. The trial was moved from Ventura County to neighboring Los Angeles because of pretrial publicity.
