The 14-year-old -- who has permanent name suppression -- has been found guilty of manslaughter.
16-year-old Enere Taana-McLaren died last May.
The jury has made a ruling - after a third day of deliberations at the High Court.
The red-eyed defendant smiled at the jury - after the verdict was delivered.
His defence argued the stabbing was self-defence, but the Crown asserted it was deliberate and intentional.
