The girl to whom he'd illegally transferred it had it near her dead body and the the body of the girl she murdered.
Based on the details thus far revealed, the only reason the boy was in possession of the gun illegally at one point was for the purpose of illegally transferring it.
So, I (and apparently the person who is in fact the DA) would consider charging him with breaking the existing law of "illegal transfer of a firearm to a minor" because it's logical. I would not likely also charge him with illegal possession considering what I know about the case now because I think that would be a kind of an asshole move.
We'll see what happens. If the kid was told a story that didn't involve the girl using the gun and if he's a good kid in general, I'd probably consider sally's suggestion regarding a diversionary program if I was the DA. I would not consider a free pass.
