Ralph Yarl has been pictured smiling a week after being shot in the head by a white homeowner for mistakenly ringing his doorbell.

The 16-year-old old looked relaxed and smiled with his lawyer Lee Merritt on Wednesday, ahead of Andrew Lester, 84, appearing in court for the first time.

Merritt posted the picture on his Twitter, saying: ‘Ralph Yarl is home and recovering! How the bullet in his head did not cause more extensive damage is truly a miracle. To God be the glory!’
