    REDRUM. It's almost like the DA charged her to a higher degree than could be convicted. That might have been by design due to history of the victim.

    It is my understanding that they charge higher because a jury can always find you guilty of a lesser charge but hey can’t up the charge. If they charged you with manslaughter the jury can not find you guilty of murder. In the opposite I believe they can. I am not a lawyer and may just be wrong.

    Guilty of murder, but didn't see anything to lead me to believe first degree murder. At least not from what I've been told first degree is. What I've been taught makes first degree is it being premeditated. I saw nothing in the video to indicate that was her intention from the beginning. I don't think it is manslaughter either, because she intentionally shot him. Maybe some of the legal gurus on hear can clarify for us.

    The really sad thing is, there is way more truth to this than will ever be admitted.

    Then it would be second degree murder.

    I can't believe that GoPro footage was ever admitted into evidence. If I was that lady or her son, I would have disappeared that.

    Bet if you spoke to some locals, they'd say something like, "dat boy needed killin long time ago".

    Even Jr knew it was murder.

    Certainly looked like that was the intent when he went and grabbed the camera off the wall. I bet he grabbed the camera and they found it on the hard drive or the cloud.

    Well the civil suit will be pretty cut and dry.
    “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

    How did she not get convicted? She's also a dumb ass for not keeping her side arm on her.

    I feel bad for the son. I cant believe they let that camera footage exist.
    They would have been charging me with tampering with evidence if that was my mom.
    That was blatant murder

    Send a woman to do a man's job.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    Yes, sir, I figured that to be the case. No crawfishing here; I just try to call it how I see it, regardless of who's doing what.

    In the thread ECU's referring to, I was making the point that people who are looking to be offended will twist your words if you're not careful. I'm pretty sure that's a fact? Jessie Jackson, Al and many others have gotten rich by exploiting this very tactic.

    And regarding my above statement, I was referring to recent "protests" here in Charlotte, as well as in Ferguson. In both cases, a black person was shot by the police. Fact. And as a result, people really DID steal TV's and whatever else they could get their hands on as a result of their "outrage". Again, facts, not my emotion or opinion.

    All that being said, I truly respect your opinions, Roddie, and I appreciate your service to our country. And I sincerely apologize if I offended you.

    I wasn’t offended, but I appreciate your candor. ECU hit the nail on what I was thinking. I get your train of thought, but don’t get sucked into a few trolls on here that use every opportunity to turn a thread into a race issue. Sometimes those that scream “racism” all of the time have an agenda; regardless of their ethnicity. I spent three years in Oklahoma and could rant about a certain demographic that is stereotyped for stealing copper and anything that wasn’t tied down to support their tooth rotting habit. Fortunately, I’ve been blessed to travel around enough to know that socio-economic conditions can have a big effect on all people. Additionally, I also believe that they have the potential to rise above that. Watch for a while and you will see the same pot stirrers.
