I am sure there were more things considered to get that verdict, but were they pertinent to the case?

edit: I am not saying that Dooley was a good guy. He may have started the argument, but he was attacked when walking away, knocked to the ground and choked.

That is where the self defense comes in!
From my link:
The teen told jurors that he did not see James get violent, only that the veteran was on top of Dooley at one point, holding his hands down. "He did not choke him," said Arthur.
