1. To state that I'm not just an older biased individual, not saying that older people are biased, but with this particular case it seems that the older favor that of the homeowner whilist not knowing the story, and to let you know that i'm rather an open non-opinionated person seeing through from both sides.
2. Because I think this case is utter bull, that a 16 year old is gonna go to prison for 5 - 99 years over a botched drug deal, when the homeowner is JUST as guilty. Maybe the suspect has a mitigating circumstance and was under the influence, which is something that seems to hold up in court today. He has completed a 47 day in-patient drug program and has turned his life around for the better regardless of the fact he is now disabled. It's not only more than obvious that he's not going to get himself into anymore situations, but that he's done something different on his OWN WILL, without the courts or anyone telling him to do so, and that's what correction is all about. But due to the law his life is pratically over if he gets sentenced accordingly. Regardless of these facts, YES he has broken the law, YES he deserves to be punished, but first offense and considering the circumstances of this case, they're going to be talking 10-20 years regardless cause its an AGGRAVATED case. He's going to be 30 or 40 years old when he truly begins to live, he's PARALYZED at 16, while these people CONTINUE to sell drugs and do illegal things while bragging about the situation. Where's the self-defense claim now? You're saying if someone comes into my home and pisses me off I can kill them or try to and brag about it?With the self-defense claim still standing?? Cause that's the case here. It aggravates me beyond belief!! Can you even fathom the fact of waking up to that?? There is nothing I can do, and I didn't come here to get bashed on by moderators and CHL owners. I just wanted to get a record of non-biased, non-opinonated, reactions and statements from general people.
3. Yes I do, To determine whether the Justice System actually CORRECTS the wrong and not just prolongs it by favoring one party over the other.
4.I live in the area, I know many people, The suspect and the homeowner. I have talked to the suspect who does not remember much but has disclosed to me bits of information that I cannot share because this case is still open. While the homeowner is still allowing his son to deal drugs out of the home and the father and son have bragged to several people how they got away with this and how great it was to shoot a young man and beat him after he was shot. Regardless of the fact, humans are humans, and indeed in biblical times it was an eye for an eye, today that is still my motto. But where is the morality in all this? There is none, The Judge and Jury will no doubt take not even a single point of interest in the suspects point of view, which is to be expected.
I just wanted to see how others would react being revealed to this side of the case, As you have only heard one side, the one on the news.
and to whoever saying I believe what is being said on the news, you sir are the one who is using facts from news articles yourself.
I AM educated in the law, don't get me wrong...
I am not here on a mission to make the homeowner look bad, I'm just simply stating both sides of the story
