No excuse for murder, but I bet ‘Javon’ was a raving asshole. Sometimes extreme assholishness gets you killed.
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
The Washington Post actually has a pretty fair write-up on this.
Former police officer found guilty of murder in killing of next-door neighbor
Looks like everyone involved were assholes, including the wife. Now one asshole is dead, another widowed, and the third asshole will be spending his life in prison where he will undoubtedly find his neighbors even more unpleasant.
On the surface, bad shoot. Really bad shoot.
BUT, yes, “Javon”, 24 yo, probably the hood kind of perpetual teenager. Only thing going for him is at that age, to be married! I’d expect shack-up.
Probably not a model citizen, despite marriage. Also if only 24 I wonder just how many “years” this was going on?
