Past crimes are almost never allowed as evidence. Because they aren’t. In this instance his killers had no way of knowing his rap sheet, and he had no stolen property on him.
The evidentiary admission question is - does its probative value outweigh any prejudicial effect. Prior bad acts may be relevant and admissible as evidence, or not.
In that situation, I doubt that the thief even gives it that much thought. More like indifference to the victim, not giving enough of a damn to even think about them. That is not the same as contempt.
Press conference outside the court house. Benjamin Crump swoops in to get his face in front of another cameras. Crump is an insatiable rabble rousing media whore.
Let us acknowledge? I don’t acknowledge. If you want it acknowledged please provide evidence. There was no evidence of a lone black man stealing stuff previously. You made that up. This lone black man was not in possession of stolen property at the time he was detained. He had been trespassing but was not trespassing at the time he was detained. I don’t think the defendants should have been chasing people around with guns. They might have been better off threatening him if he ever came back but trying to arrest him was really stupid.
The father and son were renovating houses. There were several break ins reported for mostly copper wire being stolen. They saw Aubrey trespassing illegally in construction areas. (Obviously a fan of sh!t box 1960’s architecture) They placed him under citizens arrest. He resisted, assaulted the father and tried to grab a shotgun away from the son. According to Georgia’s Stand Your Ground law, citizens can use deadly force to defend themselves, other people, or property if they believe such force is necessary to prevent death, bodily injury, or a felony. The father was assaulted. Aubrey has his hands on a shotgun barrel and is trying to wrestle a shotgun aimed at him. He was lawfully placed under Citizens arrest for illegal trespassing. It was a legal shooting. Again just caved to wok mob.
They didn’t actually see him take anything. He didn’t actually take anything. They chased him down in multiple cars. “Trapped him like a rat” (their words, under oath), and then were shocked when he tried to defend himself. And murdered him.
He was not lawfully placed under citizens arrest. Hence the conviction. It wasn’t a legal shooting, again CONVICTED. Nobody caved. They’re murderers.
Aubrey grabbed the shotgun barrel. That all they needed for stand your ground. He could have just complied and made a counter charge when the cops showed up. He fought, he lost. Murder has to be premeditated, it wasn’t. It was self defense and you can’t tell me if someone trying to get a gun from you, that you wouldn’t do the same thing.
When those other people walked through the site, the McMichaels did nothing about it. Those other people were white. Prosecutors and juries pay attention to facts like that.
What would you do “trapped like a rat”? Stand your ground is self defense only, when you’re the aggressor, which they were, it doesn’t apply. Why would he comply? What reason would he have to think that these guys that chased him down in multiple vehicles, had bumped him with at least one, and again “trapped like a rat” wouldn’t just kill him anyway. You’re damn right he fought. And so would any reasonable person. It’s not self defense when you start the fight. I would never start a confrontation like that, I’m not an idiot. These guys are idiots. And murderers.
He wasn’t trapped like a rat. He attacked the truck. Nice try.
“That all they needed for stand your ground.”
I suggest you talk to a lawyer about what Stand Your Ground allows - and do NOT carry a gun until you learn!
The defendants said UNDER OATH that they had him trapped like a rat. Those are their words. If you disagree with them you should write their lawyer. He defended himself against attackers.
Read the law. “If you feel your life is in danger.” You might want to ready the law.
Look t the video was he in an alley way? No. They can say what they want. Reality is a bitch! He could have chose the brave sir robin route, but didn’t
Or make sure he/she has committed a provable crime before you chase him/her.
More proof modern courts are absolute garbage.
I know the law. You do not. You are really STUPID if you believe you have the right to kill someone and than claim “Stand Your Ground” as a magic incantation!
Doubt me? There is a reason these buttheads are going to prison for life, and it is NOT “They are white”.
No use arguing with you. Call a lawyer and pay $50 to learn what the law says - AND DOES NOT SAY - before you carry a gun!
You're a nut. They should be given medals for accidentally ridding society of a piece of sh*t.
