Handicap parking spot shooter guilty of manslaughter.

[Crippledtrigger]

Wow. I thought it was a crap shoot and could go either way as long as the defense did their jobs with the proper experts, which I dont think they did. They hardly put on one at all. Can you say ineffective counsel appeals?


Prosecutors were smart to charge manslaughter since it only requires a 6 person jury with less chances for hung jury members vers a 12 person panel, but still end up with a first degree felony conviction, the gun involved kicked it up, with a 10 plus year minimum and up to 30 max.

Oh yeah I hope the racist white privilege shit ends for a while since an all white jury convicted a white man of killing a black guy. Hopefull but not optimistic .

Anyways a kid watched his dad killed over nothing. Lots of fail to go around and none of it had to happen.

Manslaughter? He'll get 10 years and be out after 2.

It was obvious from the video he had lost the case when he pulled the trigger. He had it coming.

No no no. 10 and 1/3 year minimum sentence to 30. Not sure about their good time or parole rules but that guy is not going to see the out side till his 2nd or 3rd parole hearing at least. I'll bet he gets the full ride. Example time in Florida.

The way it was charged with the aggravating fact that a gun was used makes it a class 1 felony. Possibly a death sentence for a crotchety old bastard.

I re-watched the security video last night. I have to agree. The video is pretty damning.

McGlockton (great name) was a thug who thought it was okay to push a guy down onto the concrete.

The other guy overreacted but I probably wouldn't have voted guilty just based on the fact that he was actually pushed down.

When two idiots try and occupy the same space this happens. I'd say sad story, but it's not. Idiot one with a gun calling out idiot two over a parking space. Both try and get bad, one gets dead, the other goes to prison. The world may be a better place both removed.
