There is two sides to every story. Unless one side is dead.

Patrick had the gun in her mouth, feared for her life and wrestled the gun away and killed him.

Hmmmmmm

So...was it accidental? Or in self defense?

Even if it was self defense, it sounds like she’s talked herself into a court case.

Wouldn’t matter what he did. If he had her down ready to decapitate her with an axe and she shot him they would still come after her.

Ray Charles could see that one coming. He was a cop and, as the bootlickers here will tell you, a cop’s life has more value than ours. And besides, as they will quickly and gladly tell you, a cop can do no wrong. She is prison, if not death row bound.

“She says...and there’s nothing to refute that,”
attorney Rod Vareen said.

Murder often solves the rebuttal problem..

1. The woman charged with shooting and killing her Miami Police officer boyfriend lost her bid to have her case dismissed under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law.

2. Thompson, who has claimed self-defense

3. Thompson's attorney argued that the shooting was unintentional

What a terribly written article. There are three very different defenses presented here ... "Stand your Ground", self-defense and accidental. Perhaps Thompson's lawyer is throwing all sorts of mud at the wall hoping one of them sticks. But the author didn't note the distinction of each of the defenses. Based on this article alone, I have no idea what happened in this case.

So if he was beating her and the shooting was in self defense there are photos as evidence of her injuries?

If you’re story changes dramatically you’ll be facing a trial.

[[The woman charged with shooting and killing her Miami Police officer boyfriend lost her bid to have her case dismissed under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law.]]

How did she LOSE her right to have the case heard under stand you ground? Was there a trial to determine she wasn’t threatened ‘enough’ to use deadly force?

Looks like she wasn’t bright enough to pick up on wo important life lessons:

-There are two codes of law. One for Caesar and his men, and one for the rest of us.

-Silence is golden.

Is every self defense now an evil “stand your ground case?”
