CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - Hannah Payne, the 25-year-old woman found guilty in the death of 62-year-old Kenneth Herring in Clayton County, will spend the rest of her life behind bars with a chance of parole.

Payne, handcuffed and wearing her prison uniform, was overcome with emotion as Judge Jewell C. Scott sentenced her to life in prison with the possibility of parole plus eight and five years to be served concurrently.

I know absolutely nothing about this story, but my instinct is to believe our incompetent court system has got it entirely @$$backwards and we once again have an idiotic or corrupt verdict.

I guess now I will see what I can learn about this case to determine if my instinct is correct.

Heck, even if life is endangered security guards can get in trouble for getting involved beyond dialing 911 in certain places.
NY state is a great place to see this.
And when something goes down and the guard doesn’t get involved people go “why didn’t you do something” to the guard.
Well, because the guard would be arrested for it 9 times out of ten.

Yup.
Kinda does indicate that reality holds no sway there.

Okay, white defendant and black victim. Black victim was probably minding his own business and working to turn his life around.

My immediate thought as well.

Scott Adams was prescient on Trump, and it looks like he’s ahead of the curve on racial issues too.

It is also of note to mention that this girl is white, the man that was shot was black.
The 1st black female judge recused herself and the judge who took her place was also a black female.
The prosecuting attorney was also a black female and the makeup of the jury including alternates consisted of 12 blacks, although I don’t know of any of those were alternates or not.

I am not attempting to imply anything, please draw your own conclusions if any......those are just the facts of who was who.

We probably never would have even heard about it. I also wonder what was the racial makeup of the jury.

HOWEVER — if a citizen ever tries to get involved and tries to make sure a criminal is punished in some way ... then the Justice system will spring into action and stomp on that citizen good and hard.

As I say, in this particular case, I don’t know who was right and who was wrong. But I know the government hates helpful citizens a lot more than it hates crooks.

This is exactly right, especially in Georgia where they sent those innocent men to prison because that stupid criminal attacked the man with a shotgun.

Georgia has a corrupt legal system more than most.

He liked to post and run, never responded to people.
He suddenly started talking.
And he gloats over people dying, post removed.
He said Kyle Rittenhouse is a punk but never explained why when questioned.
He believes in the Coof Jab, lockdowns, etc etc.
Yeah he’s a piece of work.

People like to claim that it doesn't matter who the Judges, prosecutors and the Jurors are, but it most certainly does matter as to the outcome.

What doesn't really matter is whatever the law actually says.

This stuff is just often tribal warfare under the color of law.

The jury was overwhelmingly black, this was entirely decided based on race and not the facts of the case. Expect more of this going forward.

The government, in general, views itself as master rather than servant.

It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot like life

Should have been aware of where she was. A white gal in a dominant black county. No way I’d get involved.

That doesn’t sound like a trial of her peers.

If her story is accurate, I wonder how this would have played out if the roles were reversed?

We don't need to wonder. We know.

If you chase people down who are no threat to you and shoot them things won’t go well for you no matter what state you live in
