Rule 813 bro.

Well played.

 

[SunnyD]

Not guilty.

 

[rasczak]

Stupidity all around.

while I agree with your statement, as a father of two, I empathize with him.

 

[Ns1]

Not guilty.

good shoot then?

lol

 

[TerryMathews]

good shoot then?

lol

Different from Zimmerman: as I understand it, this guy never admitted shooting the deceased and they never found the murder weapon.

Shades of Mr. Clark, that one.

 

[moonbogg]

good shoot then?

lol

In my book, yes it was. Not a bad shoot at all. One look at my two boys and I realize that drunk got off easy. Woulda been like, knee cap, knee cap, ankle, elbow, shoulder, belly, THEN head. I'd be in prison for that though. This guy played it well. Nice and clean.

Not guilty.

A visibily angry District Attorney Jeri Yenne said prosecutors "would never present a case against a person we did not believe was guilty."

But they'd present one with only circumstantial evidence and hope people take the DA's word for it...nice.

Not guilty

Meant to look this up for an update. Thanks, Sunny.

Texas seems pretty unsympathetic to people shot dead, but in this case it was understandable.

Topher was my name online in 1983. I am Alkemyst now.

Thanks to reflecting my honesty here.

My brother and I are tight. Things happen in life.

Sometimes you are the winner, sometimes you came in 2nd place.

I am on a PTO day.

Thanks Bobert.

Based on your reply I have too put your down a notch.

Too bad all the old Anandtech BBS archives were lost. All the stuff from the 80s would be comedy gold.

 

[DrPizza]

I'm really kind of surprised he wasn't found guilty.

 

[waggy]

Not guilty.

good. and no suprise

 

[ThinClient]

Woohoo!!

 

[Craig234]

If you support him committing murder, you're immoral like the drunk driver.

If you suspect the not guilty might be legitimate for insufficient evidence, that's fair.

The drunk driver's behavior was horrific, as drunk drivers are. Nothing done to him would bring back the victims. He belonged in prison and we need to do more to reduce that.

He did not deserve to be murdered. By anyone. It's sad that the murderer, whoever it is, has not been convicted.

don't believe they had the evidence. no murder weapon and no witnesses saying he shot the guy.

Jury Nullification.

Learn what it is and how to use it if you are on a jury. It's the jury's #1 power.

 

[DownTheSky]

I think maybe the wife killed him. Anyway it doesn't matter, guy got off easy. Shot in the head? I'd beat him to death.

Yes, if a white man kills a black person, use jury nullification to refuse to find him guilty. No white person should go to jail for killing a black.

This casual use of the 12 person jury to replace the democratic legislative process by rewriting every law they don't like always has a good and moral result.

Oh wait, it doesn't. Whether it's that real history of refusing to convict whites for crimes against blacks or your approval of murder, it's similarly immoral.

This case had nothing to do with a white man killing a black man so please keep your race based trolling to P&N.

Uh, pretty sure this case was pretty clear cut. The prosecution did not have enough evidence to convince a jury to convict this man of murder. Why are you bringing race into this situation? If you want to race bait, go to P&N.

Why? I (and many others) would never have found this man guilty given the circumstances. Never. Look at what that man did to his family. Animal deserved what he got. Thank G-d for Texas.
