After writing this late last night, I now also believe Slager's defense will include him insisting that he mistakenly believed Scott had the taser in his hands when he took off.

Incidentally, I know the location where this happened intimately; it’s mere yards from the perimeter of Charleston Air Force Base. I was stationed there for 4 years, from 1982-86, and would pass this very intersection on my way to and from my girlfriend’s house and visiting the commercial strip on Rivers Avenue. Even used to buy gas at that corner.

Another interesting coincidence is that both Scott and Slager served in the Coast Guard.

We’ll all know what happened when Lindsey Graham tells us how it happened.

Good morning.

which can be seen as somewhat suspicious unless one deems it mere negligent handling of the scene/evidence)

You could be correct, but tampering with evidence/crime scene shows intent.

If Slager doesn't get 2nd degree murder, Charleston will erupt.
