I want to know about every jaywalking incident,evidence of drug or alcohol use,criminal convictions (juvenile and adult)...EVERYTHING.
The video I've seen doesn't come within light years of being "revealing" enough to form an opinion regarding criminal culpability.
And I will respectfully disagree on principle.
A case such as this needs to be decided on the facts of the case itself. What exactly happened on that exact day, in the moments when the now-deceased and the accused interacted? Nothing more and nothing less.
What either party said or did on previous occasions is irrelevant.
The dead guy acting like a punk on previous occasions doesn’t make him guilty of a crime on this day, or mean that he deserved summary execution by a pair of vigilantes, as punishment for his sum total of perceived transgressions, as you suggest.
By the same standard, the 2 white guys aren’t necessarily guilty of Murder 1, nor can self defense be ruled out, just because they may subscribe to a particular worldview, or may have used the n-word last week or last year.
Maybe the black guy was culpable in his own death, maybe not. But only on the day in question, no other.
He’s dead & won’t be testifying.
Fact remains, for the 2 white guys to be convicted, there needs to be sufficient evidence to convince a jury, and it looks like that video is open for interpretation, so good luck wit dat.
