I would start with self defense — robber still armed and still a threat (even though he turned his back = “King’s X”).

A jury from DC? Change the venue first.

From the comments section; “Don’t bring a pellet gun to a tow truck fight”.
I would vote not guilty if I were on the jury.

Except for the legal charges this story had a happy ending. This is proof that everyone should own a backhoe.
To: Valpal1
These crazies would probably throw the whole jury in jail for acquitting him.

“I was traumatized and in fear for my life, he had beaten me with his gun and I thought I was going to die. I jumped in my truck and in my traumatized confusion I was unable to avoid hitting him as he jumped into my direction of travel. I just thank God I wasn’t killed”
To: nickcarraway
This happened in broad daylight just after noontime!!!!!!!!!!>>>>>
Give the tow truck driver a medal for removing this pos. For taking out the trash. I don’t care if the driver is black or white. The assailant seems to be black (I am profiling here....)

> Police said that Crouch was dragged along a sidewalk and that authorities found a pellet gun broken into three pieces under his body...
And yet, pellet guns are treated like “assault weapons” by the left.
The dead perp used the gun to beat his victim over the head.
BTW, good riddance.
Thanks nickcarraway.

If this guy were a cop, all he would have to say is “he feared for his life”. That is license to kill.
Remember cops investigated this case and must have made recommendations to charge to the DA, who decided to charge the guy.
Cops get to kill on any pretext but they will send a citizen up the river in a heartbeat.

Freepers are strict!!! You use a pellet gun like a real gun in the course of a robbery and bodily assault.... You just might die when your victim fights back.
A cautionary tale for low lifes everywhere.

I'd acquit, were I on the jury. Were he a police officer, there would be no charges. Justifiable homocide.
The end result of such travesties of justice will be that people who survive such attacks will just quit phoning it in. Let the sub-humans rot in the street.
