It was jury nullification he needs to be charged federally.
No it was not. The prosecutor over-reached and failed miserably.
You don't have a clue what you're talking about, the jury had the option to find him guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Can you not fawking read? Post 1042. And now for the third flippin time in this thread.
. Involuntary manslaughter has three elements and all must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in order to return a guilty verdict.
- Someone was killed as a result of the defendant's actions.
- The act either was inherently dangerous to others or done with reckless disregard for human life.
- The defendant knew or should have known his or her conduct was a threat to the lives of others.
Already addressed that dipshit, killing someone by discharging a weapon you are illegally in possession of certainly meets that standard.
Irrelevant, intent is not part of the standard, he was acting in "reckless disregard of human life".
You have got to be dumber than a box of rocks. How does picking up a gun out of the trash can, and hell, not even picking up a gun. It was wrapped in a towel and misfired when it fell out of the rag when he picked up the rag.. The bullet hit just twelve feet from where he was standing and ricocheted off the pier. That was PROVEN in court. And the Sig Sauer pistol is question is KNOWN to misfire when dropped. Who the hell intentionally fires a gun into a concrete pier just feet from where they are standing? You jerks have no grasp of reality whatsoever.
