Attorneys say Baltimore County officer showed 'aggression,' accused teen was in 'survival mode'

Attorneys for the teenager accused of running over and killing Baltimore County police Officer Amy S. Caprio called for the public release of body camera footage from the incident, saying their client was in “survival mode” when he ran over the officer. J. Wyndal Gordon and Warren Brown, two prominent Baltimore defense attorneys who are representing 16-year-old Dawnta Harris, said Thursday morning that the footage will help answer questions surrounding Caprio’s death, and ultimately help their client’s case. They called on Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott D. Shellenberger to release the video.

“I think it will put a lot of misconceptions to rest,” Brown said at a news conference at Gordon’s downtown office.

At the beginning of the video his attorney refers to the murder as a “tragic accident.”

Whatever this turkey is being paid is way too much.

Apparently, three more teens charged in the death?

Sadly, the only question is how long until they are returned to the street.

And only one sure way to prevent that from occurring.

“I think it will put a lot of misconceptions to rest,”

The first misconception we should put to rest is that someone who already a hardened criminal who runs with a feral pack of other hardened criminals and goes into "survival mode" when they see a police officer should be free to prey on the rest of society.

Yeah ... and Jeffry Dahmer was in survival mode when he killed and ate all those boys. It’s all about survival ... and oh yes ... the money for the lawyers.

She wanted to arrest them. They wanted to get away.

Pretty good defense.

“If someone's got bullets whizzing by your head, you’re in survival mode, you’re trying to survive,” Gordon said. “This was not an intentional killing. … This was an accident.”

ONLY a lawyer...

Btw, details he left out: car stolen, 16 year old illegally driving was awaiting sentencing for another stolen car conviction

"Felony murder" rules apply. Intent is irrelevant. They killed in the commission of a felony (actually, multiple felonies: engaged in burglary, in stolen car, God knows what else.

If the DA doesn't deliberately throw the case for political reasons, or they get an "OJ Jury", then they should all get life.

“Attorneys get paid to make up excuses.”

Yep,and if often works-——as in the infamous “affluenza” case.

Perhaps any survival mode was the result of being stuck with such a dumb-*ssed name.

From the link:

"I was hoping they'd kill him during apprehension. What a waste of life. He's currently breathing air some decent person could be breathing."

"I personally am tired of good for nothing hood rats committing adult crimes and people STILL saying crap like, he had hard times growing up, society made him do these things because he had no role models."

Only thing possibly "racial" is "hood rats" but they come in all colors and shapes.
