Get out of the Lowcountry and head for the hills when verdict time comes, or shelter in place, or something.

Slager is guilty of first degree murder. In the video you see him pull his pistol as Scott starts to flee. There’s a split second where Slager calms and aims before firing. In that moment he thought about it and fired anyway.

That would be enough to convict Scott has Scott done the same thing to Slager and it should be enough to convict Slager, as well.

Its Charleston, SC. If Al Sharpton shows up there, THE BLACKS will run him out town on a rail.

Low country blacks are generally different from the urban goblins in other cities.

So what happens if the jury returns a verdict of not guilty on murder? Does the jury have the option to convict on any lesser charge, say, manslaughter, or does Slager just walk away free?

I'm not a South Carolina lawyer, but in the states where I am licensed, the jury does get to consider lesser charges if they acquit of murder.

In Charleston, and elsewhere, the passage of time until trial verdict may help. But better to just bar the door, in case.

I'm Going to Charleston Back to Charleston...maybe not this summer.

The follow up results in SC will be whatever is bought and paid for by the agitator-in-chief and his handlers, with incredible support, through direct order, from the media. They WILL invest time and money to this...

Left alone, without outside influence, the entire event would be a non issue, regardless of court outcome.

I blame Obama, Holder and many other racists for unleashing the dogs of race warfare. They have blatantly refused to acknowledge the extraordinarily high black murder rate in this country, blamed every incident on white cops and any other whites in the area and now the white crazies have come forward. Black leaders have made room for blacks to burn, loot, steal, anything if they can blame it on whites. Now we are closer to a race war than ever before and Obama is nothing more than gasoline on the fire.
