These were parts that Apple owned. This is no different than if someone stole your car from your garage, then sold it to someone else.
It is extremely different. He did not go to the factory and steel the parts and then sell them. He simply bought parts and was reselling them. I think this is a better analigy. You by a car from somebody, then you go to resell the car, a couple months later you find out the car you bought and then sold was stolen.
So basically your trying to claim the kid didn't know the parts were illegal?? If the kids that stupid at that age then he should be put in a home for mentally challenged. People keep making excuses because he is young which is ridiculous. People wonder why we have kids killing other kids, its not violent video games or tv, its all these kind of people who think its ok to make excuses for kids, so the kids have no sense of respect for authority at all anymore because some bleeding heart out there will go "oh go easy on them, they are just a kid" over every thing. Its time laws started to come down hard on kids and their parents who obviously didn't take the responsibility to teach them right from wrong.
