BTW WillPowerBriefly, the small white police woman got off the elevator on the wrong floor (as have dozens of others) of her apartment building, walked into what she thought was her apartment after a 13 hour duty day and was confronted by a large black man who lived in that apartment. She was still in uniform. Believing she was in her apartment, she told the man to show his hands. He refused. He started moving toward her in the dark. She drew her service weapon and double-tapped him. He died shortly thereafter.
The judge is a large, belching, yawning, stretching black woman named Tammy Kemp. So far she has ignored a defense motion for mistrial since the DA defied a court order and gave the media an interview about the case, poisoning the jury pool. She has allowed a favorable picture of the victim to be placed in front of the jury. She has denied the defense expert testimony from police officers and experts in police shootings three times, not allowing the defense to defend their client. She's sure to get a conviction the way she's run this trial and sure to be overturned on appeal. It's obvious she wants to put this little white women in a prison at the mercy of her fellow-gigantic soul sisters.
Judge blocks testimony that Dallas cop acted reasonably in shooting neighbor
the judge does a TERRIBLE disservice to the victim and family
by allowing errors that can cause a case to get thrown out on appeal due to technicality.
The only good this does is allow the INITIAL outrage
to be resolved and vindicated by playing the way that side needs to hear it to
feel they are seeing justice.
After that blows over, whatever was overreaching should still be corrected
after the fact, so there can be true justice and fairness.
This lopsided approach at least allows the initial steam to blow over.
I would argue to change the murder charge to reckless homicide
plus set up meaningful restitution that the victim's family and community
agree are commensurate with the wrongful death and loss of Botham Jean
