GZ to get his gun back

[DaveE 178]

So if I couldn't get him for manslaughter without intent and there were no other charges that we could go for legally, I would have to say not guilty, because it isn't against the law to make stupid decisions.

True this - the verdict slip only had three options

1. Guilty of Murder in the second degree

2. Guilty of Manslaughter

3. Not Guilty

If they had found him guilty of either offense then they had to list other findings, but they were mainly for the use of a firearm additive sentencing.

Welp, maybe I'm wrong in my assumption. Hard to know for sure. I still think there's good odds one out of six wouldn't have let him go on not guilty.

Random black man wanting crack...nope not racist yet.

About like saying someone is looking for trouble just because they have a gun.

Quite true. I personally don't know any gun owners who look for trouble. And I'd venture to guess that you'd never know a responsible gun owner was carrying 99% of the time. I don't know where some get the idea that people are walking around with a pair of six shooters strapped to their waist. Maybe they watched too many westerns?

I hear Harsh is trying to recruit Stevie Wonder as an AA board member. The typing might be a bytch, but it's probably no worse then what Harsh puts out on a daily basis.

He cannot see and you cannot hear.

You hear things which no one said.

But when someone is shot by someone who was following someone, yet can't fight I'd say that gun made them look for trouble. In this case the person carrying a gun DID look for trouble and when he found it he took the cowards way out.

Doing something stupid because it's technically "legally" doesn't make it intelligent.

Why do you carry a gun?

Nor does it make it illegal.

for you I guess I will have to put it this way, he was not considering the evidence but just going by black ppl and white ppl

How do you know what Stevie Wonder was thinking? Color is irrelevant to a blind person.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Be on time in office.

AA still stands for African American.

If you are a racist ignorant bigot it does. Oh, I am sorry, we will just refer to people like that as RIB's.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

I believe so. I'm sure one of the resident law experts will be along to let us know.

They have to fill out the verdict form. The only lesser charge included was manslaughter.
