If I was a stranger walking around in a GATED community at night, yes I would. As a reasonable person, I would understand that I may look suspicious to the homeowners and might be questioned. And then again, I am not high on marijuana with an attitude and a twitter handle of no_limit_nigga.
No, but I was a teenager once and would not have attacked someone following me to ask a question. I had respect for my elders and authority.
Again, that is an assumption as to events. We really dont know for sure how the confrontation took place.
The point of the trial was to appease the media. I still agree with the ousted police man Chief. There was no grounds for arrest.
There is very little, if any, direct evidence other than GZ statements and filmed reenactment to give a clear view of the 'confrontation'. That is up to the jury to decide and is critical to the self defense claim. However, for the original charge, I still dont believe there is enough evidence to convict.
Is it allowed in other states that you can add a charge after the trial has begun? This seems very odd to me.
Agreed. But whether it is or not doesn't matter. This was a political witch hunt from the beginning.
No doubt. At this point, it seems the prosecution is throwing anything up to see if it sticks. I just read where they asked the judge to allow 3rd Degree Murder because "child abuse" was involved.
It is normal for a lesser charge to be considered if the evidence doesn't prove the charge.
They would add menacing if it meant they could hear one word as opposed to two come decision time.
Well I guess she finally drew a line, no on 3rd degree assault felony via child abuse charge.
Prosecution has begun closing arguments to the jury.
First sentence....."A teenager is dead.....through no fault of his own."
Wow!
First sentence....."A teenager is dead.....through no fault of his own."
Wow!
I know one thing.....he is avoiding discussion of self-defense like the plague!
Even so - now I know why prosecutors are paid what they are compared to defense lawyers...wow - O'Mara is going to knock it out of the park tomorrow.
This case. The Casey Anthony case. The Bingo Trial in Montgomery. The Roger Clemons trial. All examples of the difference between defense lawyers and government lawyers.
About two months ago I sat in an oral argument before the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. The appellant's lawyer is a friend of mine, so I went to see him. The city attorney for city where he was arrested told the court a story related to the case. She gave the wrong information. She tried to claim an argument between the appellant and officers lasted several minutes (think she specifically said 20). Video shows the argument lasted only about 3.
