Good verdict. Death row.
So he and his father totally ignored the Constitution, and on top of that did shi**y police work in regards to surveilling the place. He got what he deserved.
Cory Maye, 23, said he was asleep on a chair in the living room of his Prentiss apartment as his 14-month-old daughter slept in the bedroom when he heard a loud crash at his front door. "I immediately ran to my daughter's room, got a pistol, put in a magazine and chambered a round," said Maye, who is on trial for capital murder in Marion County. "As I laid on the floor by the bed, I heard kicks at the back door. I was frightened, I thought someone was trying to break in on me and my daughter."
Maye testified that it was dark in his apartment when he heard someone breaking into the back door, which was located in the bedroom. "That's when I fired the shots," Maye said. "After I fired the shots, I heard them yell 'police! police!' Once I heard them, I put the weapon down and slid it away. I did not know they were police officers."
The more I dig into this the less I buy Maye's story. Read between the lines. Police anounced themselves at the front door. Maye ran into the bedroom retrieved his gun, loaded it, chambered a round. It then sounds like he may have shot through a closed door and hit the officer. Shooting at an officer on the opposite side of a closed door is not self-defense. He never says he saw them, just heard them. He shot through a closed door.
no kidding eh and the usual slurs against Southerners that the forum mods let go and on.
unlike when simple candor about anyone else warrants a post or thread yanking
gross double standard
(are there any southern mods...no one ever asks me..lol)
Crackheads aren't known for behaving rationally.
I just got my computer back after it sat in the repair shop for almost three weeks, so I haven't read this thread.
Southern bashing is all too frequently permitted here.
prosecutor = gospel?
What tells you whether or not it was a good verdict? Have you reviewed the trial transcript?
thank you...where do these PC knee jerk freepers who get away with uttering these smears.
this is about something that went wrong with a police raid possibly
not a race case..hell, any town of any size in the Deep South is going to be run or mostly run by blacks these days...did these folks not see who runs NOLA during Katrina ...that is most of the South today
one little ol John Grisham fantasy sure goes a long way with these indignant blue state preeners
those peckerheads are all over this thread with their usual arrogant smug superiority crap built on a foundation of ignorance, stupidity and no guts.
Did you miss the part where I said I have family in law enforcement? As for being pro-drug, I keep some Excedrin in the house. On a wild night, I'll have a can of Coors. Libertarian? Hah! When the Republicans run me off, I'll have to check out the Constitution Party.
This accusation is beyond the pale. Nobody's accused the defendant of being a drug user at all. Mojave should be banned for blatant abuse.
The jury verdict. The newspaper articles. The prosecutor's statement. The venality of the perp's supporters.
The jury verdict itself is inadmissable as evidence as to whether it is good or not. That is, as you put it, "self serving." Yet more evidence of your own venality.
OH, and the prosecutor statement is also "self serving."
Come back when you get the trial transcript. Then there can BEGIN to be a discussion.
Assuming it's true, so what?
So?
His lawyer even admitted that drugs were found.
thank you...amazing eh
