I know I will get flamed for this but;
I disagree with the decision to not try Shannon Anthony Scott.
When you shoot at anything or anyone, you should damn well know where that round could end up. EVEN A RICOCHET! From this story, we do not know the weapon Scott fired, so we cannot tell if the round could have penetrated the car he was shooting at or if he missed the car completely and killed the poor unfortunate teen.
Regardless of his background or family status, Darrell Andre Niles was NOT doing anything wrong when he was killed.
I say try Scott in a court of law. Let a jury decide.

I would tend to agree if Niles was not part of the thug car, which he evidently was not.
This article is awfully short of facts and awfully long on hyperbole!

The people that started the incident should be charged with murder not Scott. A jury shouldn’t have the power to decide that a man defending himself should be tried with murder.

I agree with you too. Manslaughter charges but not murder should be brought.
To: Tupelo
Agree. I’m a strong supported of “Stand Your Ground” laws but feel this case takes it to an extreme that is out of bounds. In my opinion, manslaughter charges at the minimum are warranted. As you say, then let a jury decide.
