I must say that verdict was not right
The guy is paralyzed for the rest of his life and the doc gets 10 years probation and pays a fraction of what he earned in a year
So its ok now for someone to snap and just shoot someone crippling him for life?
I'll stop now and say Justice WAS NOT served
Well no the civil lawsuit will ensue

DICKINSON — Testimony began Tuesday in the trial of a former University of Texas Medical Branch doctor accused of shooting a Dickinson man in what prosecutors called a case of mistaken identity.
Bennie Lee Scott, 21, took the witness stand in the 405th State District Court on Tuesday and described the minutes leading up to his being shot in the torso and left shoulder.
Scott said he was talking with an acquaintance on Avenue D, near Deats Road, when he heard an unfamiliar voice.
“He said, ‘You’re the guy who hit me,’� Scott said.
Dr. Wameeth Fadhli, 34, faces a charge of aggravated assault in the shooting.
Fadhli reportedly had been in a nearby convenience store minutes earlier when a man struck him in an unrelated altercation. Prosecutors Bill Reed and Paige Santell allege that Fadhli mistook Scott for his attacker.
Scott said he and a man in a Jeep struggled over a gun the motorist had brandished, before “numerous shots were fired,� two of which hit and wounded Scott.
“I just fell,� Scott said. “I thought I had just tripped.�
Defense attorney Margaret Hindman asked Scott whether he was on drugs and whether Scott could have worked his own fingers near the gun’s trigger during the struggle.
Scott answered “no,� to both questions.
After the shooting, Scott went to the medical branch in Galveston for treatment.
The same hospital system later suspended Fadhli, eventually terminating him. At the time of the shooting, Fadhli was a second-year pediatrics resident.
The charge carries a possible prison term of two to 20 years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.
Testimony in the case resumes today.
