People are too quick to Saint and too quick to villian everyone.
Kyle was a kid who got attacked by thugs and defended himself.
He was not a criminal thug himself, nor was he the chosen one to lead some revival of western civilization.
I'm glad he got acquited because that was the right ruling. But he is and always was just some kid caught in an unfortunate situation. Nothing more, nothing less.
vilify or villainize are better grammatical choices. I just read these in a Stephen King book.
