A TEENAGER has been convicted over the death of 17-year-old Steven Rowe - under a new law brought in after Western Australia's spate of 'one-punch' deaths.

A Supreme Court jury which yesterday aquitted the man - who turned 18 today - of murder today also acquitted him of manslaughter over the October 2008 death.
