A four-on-four fight broke out after the teens shot the gun at the men that were on the court playing basketball, according to police.
The suspects fled the scene after they “took Liming’s car and drove it to the other end of the lot” following the deadly attack, court documents reportedly said.
Jonathan Sinn, a lawyer for DeShawn Stafford, said his client was defending himself after seeing “a car-load of teenagers … with, what at the time seemed to be a fully automatic firearm,” a reference to the $68 water gun, according to the article.
The toy’s website warns users not to “take SplatRBall Blasters to any school or federal properties” or “aim at or blast people or animals.”
******* You gotta like the free flowing bllshit coming from these killers lawyer. Or should I say one of the killers, DeShawn Stafford, lawyers. Ohio is conservative enough to put these killers in prison for at least 20 years. Though I always prefer the death penalty in cut and dried murder cases.
A $68 water gun? I never paid more than 68¢.
Not really. The “weapon” was shaped and sized like an automatic, shooting 8 water-soaked beads with every trigger pull, after dark (I think?), from a moving car, while the guys were playing basketball. In Akron that may not be a totally unrealistic assumption.
