The 16-year-old’s mother Angie was furious with the outcome.
Speaking outside Liverpool Crown Court on Monday, Angie Mayze said: “I’m disgusted. Drug dealers get longer.”
Jason – known as Jay-Jay – received a fatal stab wound on January 13 this year.
Bosher Uddin, 37, had been due to face trial after being charged with murdering the teenager following a confrontation.
But his guilty plea to manslaughter, on the grounds that he had not intended to kill or seriously harm his victim, was accepted by the prosecution at the hearing.
The court heard that Uddin had confronted Jay-Jay while he was at the back of the Balti Spice takeaway in Clock Face, where Uddin was employed. John Bromley-Davenport QC, defending, claimed Uddin was using a knife in the kitchen when he was told that a theft was taking place from the container outside.
Outside court, Angie Mayze and other relatives expressed their anger over the situation and claimed that it had been a racist attack which the police had not investigated properly.
Mrs Mayze said: “A Union Jack floral tribute left at the scene was destroyed.”
She also reacted furiously to the claim that her son was a thief and said he had never been in trouble.
She added: “He had a fiver in his hand for food. When the ambulance got there he still had the fiver in his hand.”
Uddin, who had been on bail, was remanded in custody until August 25 when he will return to court for sentencing.
