Man Charged w/Murder After Being Robbed @Gunpoint and Killing Perp

[Bloodshot Scott]

It was voluntary manslaughter and imperfect self-defense (when someone who kills another believes they are acting in self-defense but that belief is not reasonable under the circumstances).

The problem for him if he is correctly convicted is intent. You don't get a year when you intend to kill someone. Sentencing guidelines are probably going to call for 3-10 years.

I think, but I'm not sure, but that would mean that he would probably be out after about 15 months, with good time served. :dunno:


Then he can go on the book circuit. :nanner:

Then he can go on the book circuit.

He'll probably need to because as convicted felon he would lose his pharmacology license.:wave2:

GOOD! Hopefully he'll loose his liberty for many years to come!

You know, no amount of justification can justify what the man did.

He saved himself and his property. Then he killed a person, without handing him over to the authority, which a sane person would have done. Let us also not forget at the moment of the killing, the boy was not in a position to defend himself. The man crossed the line drawn by the society, killed a defenseless person, may be a felon but a human life and turned a criminal himself. Let us accept the fact that the man IS a criminal.

Yes, no amount can justify what the man did but no amount can justify why a young a pathetic fucker tried to rob a private property. Most of the times robbers are armed and dangerous, I would like to see you how you would hand a robber with a 9inch blade knife or a 9mm beretta over to the authority. You would be injuried, so neutralizing a robber with deadly force is a better solution than being a defenseless victim. When you want to trespass a private property, better know the risks that you are facing. The one who trespasses a private property in order to rob it and thinking that he won't be killed or injuried, got all wrong.

Watching the video and reading the story, I have no opinion. Its just too complicated of a situation:

Is it self defense, murder, or both?
Is it racial tension?
Is it over aggression?

I personally think it is a little of everything you mentioned.

I agree with those who say the initial shot was fired in self defense, but that the subsequent five rounds constitute either manslaugher or murder.

Georges, no offence. You didn't read the entire post. The kid could very well have been handed over, as that situation stood. Each one is different.

I asked the same question, why one so young had to get in to robbery? But that is a separate discussion altogether.
