After watching his wife's drug-dealing cousin repeatedly supply her with heroin and begging him to stay away from their Hamilton Township house, Edwin Sobony II snapped.
On Dec. 9, 2015, Sobony grabbed an aluminum baseball bat from his garage and sent Larry Jewell to intensive care with skull fractures.
Sobony's attorney, Sam Shamansky, held the bat on Friday in a Franklin County courtroom and told jurors that he would have gone further.

You’d think they could’ve selected a jury that wouldn’t convict him.

What would you have done ?
A better job of dumping the body. And used a wood bat, I’m a baseball purist.

Shot him dead. After he entered the house, of course.

What would you have done ? Voted "not guilty."

I'm not gonna say what I would have done because talk is cheap.
I will say that it sounds like this guy might have been better off if his cousin-in-law had just started missing all his appointments for some unknown reason.

If I am on that jury I find it justifiable. Heron is a deadly scourge and selling the woman heroine should be considered assault with a deadly weapon. The man was defending his wife from a deadly attack.
So it was defending someone from a vicious predator. No crime. The man is a hero.

What the hell is wrong with the jury? This is a clear case where the principle of jury nullification should have been put in play. Instead you had 12 brain dead robots who followed the jury instructions like they were commands from God Almighty.

File for a PFA against him. If he comes around again, shoot him dead and tell your lawyer that your feared for your Wife’s life.

Once again, proof that the law and police are to control the law abiding and to protect the criminal. This dates back to common law England where the serfs that resided within the boundaries of the manor were considered to be property of the Lord of the Manor. Should two serfs strive with each other, both were punished. For damaging or potentially damaging the property of the Lord of the Manor.

Our government has failed to protect us from drugs and their predators, then they blame the frustrated Americans who try to stop it. Sad. Prayers for this man.

Is the DA also trying the drug dealer for illegally dealing a deadly drug to the public?

Yes! but two key ingredients are a tarpaulin and a pickup truck. You can’t bury the sucker in your back yard.
