Re: Teen killed by Florida CHL'er
Many years ago my in-laws were sitting at a stoplight with he windows down when a car with the music up and heavy bass thumping, with the driver feeling the groove and moving to the beat pulled up beside them. They both kinda looked over at the car and the driver turned off the music and smiled. My father-in-law then turned UP his music and they both started moving to the beat as they serenaded the other driver with a romping rendition of 'I've Been Working on the Railroad' from the children's tape that was in the player. The other driver was laughing so hard when the light turned green that he didn't even notice it had changed as they drove off.

Re: Teen killed by Florida CHL'er
You're not missing anything. Without all the evidence presented to the jury and being inside their heads you can not really know what they were thinking. Sometimes you have that one juror that just holds out and instead of having to stay longer the others bow down to letting one charge float to get a consensual verdict on the others.howdy wrote:I didn't watch the trial at all and I just heard the verdict. The jury was hung on the first degree murder charge, meaning at least one juror thought the defendant was somewhat justified in shooting the deceased teen. He was also found guilty of 3 cases of attempted murder which means ALL the jurors thought he had no justification to shoot the gun in the direction of the other 3 teens in the car. Does this mean in the future if you need to use self defence against one person in a group that you can be criminally charged because your actions threatened the other members of the group. ie...a group of gang bangers approach you and only one of the group trys to rob you. You pull your handgun and fire more than one round hitting and stopping the robber. Everyone agrees you were justified in doing this. The local DA wants a charge brought and files attemped murder of the "innocent" gang bangers.
What am I missing here?
