ORIGINAL: BamaD This on includes an eye witness. By Allison Geller, Sun, November 10, 2013 Matthew Pinkerton of Glenn Burnie, Md. will face trial for second-degree murder, manslaughter and use of a firearm in a felony or violent crime after shooting Kendall Green, who broke into Pinkerton’s house at 2 a.m. on Sept. 15. Pinkerton’s attorney, Peter O’Neill, is claiming self-defense. The state of Maryland says that Pinkerton should have called 9-11. Pinkerton’s lawyer and supporters argue that if he had done that, he, his wife and friends who were at their home at the time would all be dead. The Capital Gazette reported that Pinkerton, an Air Force Sergeant, suspected that Green had begun an affair with his wife, Jessica Pinkerton, while Pinkerton was posted in Korea. Jessica Pinkerton has made no comment, but O’Neill described the relationship as a “friendship.” Green was interested in pursuing more, even after Jessica Pinkerton tried to end the friendship. Green showed up on Pinkerton’s porch the night of the shooting and refused to leave, demanding to see Matthew Pinkerton’s wife. Pinkerton brought his Glock 17 9mm handgun with him when he went to the door. The men had words, and Pinkerton closed the door. The police report that Pinkerton then heard the screen door open. Green broke into the front door, breaking the doorframe. It is not clear whether Green had a weapon on him. Documents state that Pinkerton didn’t see one in his hands. Assistant State’s Attorney Glen Neubauer said Pinkerton could have called the police, and called his move to grab his gun “bizarre behavior in itself.” O’Neill maintains: “He has the right to defend himself against an intruder.” Matthew Pinkerton’s brother, Michael Pinkerton, was there that night. He described the incident to the Save America Foundation. “The night in question Matt feared for his safety. After closing the door on the gentleman, he [Mr. Green] chose to barge thru and enter the house. Matt told him several times to get out but he insisted to charge forward. Thus resulting in him getting shot.” Michael Pinkerton wrote. “The press is making it sound as though Mr. Green and Matt knew each other well but that was not the case.” The Capital Gazette reported that the men had had at least one previous altercation. The state of Maryland has some of nation’s the most stringent gun control laws in place. Gun advocates, however, are still expressing shock over Maryland’s “call 911” argument in the Pinkerton case. Pinkerton awaits trial on Feb. 11, 2014, with a status conference scheduled for Dec. 13, 2013. Sources: Youth Nation, Salisbury News, Capital Gazette, Save America Foundation, Bearing Arms And all of this from pro gun far right news sources....right. As usual, when you can't disprove what is said you attack the source. I refer you to my post #27 were there are links to other news reports that conflict with reports that also have reported. As to the source they are right wing pro gun with an agenda. What I am saying is that there seems to be a some conflicts in reports as to what happened. I am suggest that rather then jump to conclusion, wait for the trial. This alone prove how weak the case is against Pinkerton. You have always before declared the homeowner guilty as sin, but even you can see the case against him has more holes than the Titanic. I have shown news report that conflict with what happen that you claim based on pro gun news report. I have never stated Pinkerton was guilty. As always you make conjectures and rant.
