[Conscience of a Conservative]

Guilty of what is the question. There is no way on GOD's earth he gets convicted to murder for which is charge. I thought this well before Geraldo's opinion on the matter. He they should plead this to manslaughter and if the suspect did fire the taser at the officer, the prison term should be minimal.

Except there is no evidence that the victim fired the taser at the officer (the pictures on the conservative treehouse site don't show anything like that), and, more tellingly, at no point in any of the post-shooting videos that have been released did the officer ever claim that the victim shot the taser. Wouldn't "he shot me with my taser" have been the first words out of the officer's mouth?

[11th Commandment]

Bottom line, we don't have murder 2 here with or without a taser fired. This is what they tried with George Zimmerman and failed. I only mentioned the taser as a consideration for the sentence.
