ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Look, face it. The jury did not find evidence to support a guilty verdict on all but the weapons charge. And since it is up to the attorneys to present the their best case, it is clear the DA failed to prove his on the charges directly linked to the death. Now, since the jury could only come up with a verdict based on the cases presented, how the hell is it the fault of the jury IF the DA fucked up and lost the case? I love it when some one is acquitted and everyone blames the jury, who made their decision based on the evidence presented. Sorry, but in this situation, the DA on the case took a sure thing slam dunk and turned and scored the winning basket for the defense. jif, I know you know gun laws so, I'll try one more time with you: You admit he was found guilty on the illegal possession of a weapon charge, yes? quote:
ORIGINAL: jlf1961 The jury did not find evidence to support a guilty verdict on all but the weapons charge. Okay. You agree that's a felony, right? Good. ANY time ANYone dies during the commission of a felony, manslaughter (at the very least) is appropriate and a done deal. Don't believe me? If you ask me to drive a get-away car for an armed robbery and you kill the person behind the counter, my skinny Irish ass is going to jail, also. Don't like that? Suppose you don't kill the guy and, while speeding away from the cops, I t-bone a car because I went through a red light. Guess what? Manslaughter, again. Once you have a predicate felony, ANY death that occurs (even if our counter person just died of a heart attack) is MANSLAUGHTER at the very least. Even if, as you say, the prosecutor fucked up, the DEFENDANT'S STORY was that the gun was in his possession, when it "accidentally" went off. in the process of him, committing a felony, someone died. Game, set, match. The jury or the judge (while charging the jury) fucked up.
