A transgender South Florida woman is facing a murder charge in what she says was self-defense, and claims she she wouldn't be facing charges if not for her gender.
The woman, who goes by Ms. Campbell, says she never should have been charged in the first place in the killing of Jackson Marcelin last year.
"I do feel like that it may have been different if it was a woman in my situation," Campbell told NBC 6 in an exclusive interview.
Campbell is facing a charge of second-degree murder in the death of Marcelin, who she says she stabbed in self-defense.
"I literally did feel I was defending myself. I actually got struck by the board," she said.
Campbell said Marcelin repeatedly stalked her and had approached her for sex, something she rejected.
"He approached me and he asked me to do something for him and I told him 'I don't think that I want to deal with you,'" Campbell said.
Campbell said she was victimized by others before, and claims she's been raped three times. That fear Campbell said she carried with her last year in northwest Miami-Dade when Marcelin and Campbell had their deadly encounter.
Court documents show one witness told police "she noticed the subject with a sharp object in his right hand...the subject was taunting the victim...the victim had a wooden stick...and was walking towards the subject."
Another witness said "Prior to the incident I observed the victim, Marcelin Jackson...harassing my roommate Lloyd for at least 2-3 months. During the harassment, Marcelin would approach Lloyd with comments such as 'I want to have sex' and 'I want you to (expletive) my (expletive).'"
"I think it's without question that if he were a biological female this case would be handled differently," attorney Herbert Erving Walker III said. "One of the potential jurors, he didn't think that a transgender woman, which is what Ms. Campbell is, could get a fair shake in the criminal justice system."
"I have seen things happen to other transgenders who could not defend themselves," Campbell said.
Marcelin's family wants Campbell prosecuted.
"He attacked my brother first and my brother was defending himself," sister Mirlande Marcelin said. The Miami-Dade State Attorney said they are always gathering information before deciding what their position will be in court. A hearing is scheduled for later this week. Meanwhile, Campbell said she's now a witness for the state attorney on battery charges filed against inmates who attacked her before she got out of jail on bond.
So he’s using the tranny card as an excuse?
don’t know enough about the case but it sounds like that was not the case but who knows. I do believe that the transgendered person needs to be charged and the courts need to figure out what actually happen. I don’t trust stament’s from anyone on this.
history I have a sibling who is transgendered and fear for her safety because when some one discovers the lie about what sex they actually our it can become violent especially if there had been any sort of sexual attraction before finding out....and as far as I am concerned it is as bad as rape if someone who is transgendered has sex without informing there partner of there real sexual identity.
I can easily see this as a case of the guy no knowing that he is harassing a transgendered girl (man) upon finding out that she is a he it becomes violent and someone gets killed but like I said the police are going to have to investigate it and the courts are going to have to figure out what happened.
A guy killed someone. May be justified, may not be justified. Got nothing to do about the fact he wears dresses and/or “believes” he is a girl.
XY chromosomes=male sex
XX chromosomes=female sex
There's your real reason for a lot of this B.S. A victim card for a white male who doesn't think being gay makes him a big enough oppressed minority any longer.
Isn't Campbell admitting here he's not female?
If he is convicted, will he go to a men’s or women’s prison?
You wann'a be a "transgender woman" ?
You will be referred to as "he"
Indeed.
It is time to drop this “transgendered” terminology. Before Obama, we called these cross-dressers “transvestites”—no need for another word, that one was already quite adequate.
The whole “transgender” terminology was invented as a means to try to destroy the rules that make civilization possible. In other words, it was part of Obama’s effort to “fundamentally change America.”
"Remember folks, words have meaning"
Don’t bring logic into this you homophobe! The whole charade will fall apart!/sarc
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahaha! ! ! ! !
The mask slips a little - this deranged person knows in his heart he's not a woman.
Everything goes in cycles throughout time, whether it be nature or human behavior, it does not matter.
My point is, somewhere in the future the US and the rest of the world will wake up from this leftist lunacy. Those still living from the snowflake/tranny/die-hard-left era will be laughed at and scorned for being exactly what they are.
To think that a clear cut mental issue is being paraded around our culture as normal is beyond surreal. It’s like a bad dream you just cannot wake up from.
Today he’ll go to a women’s prison. And they’ll give him all his female hygiene products and razors so he can shave his beard and pretend to be pretty.
ie, fundamentally screw up America.
Transgender Woman? In other words it a guy with psychological problems.
I was wondering about that lately. Is their a difference between a transvestite and a transgender? I was telling my kids a story about how I ( at the time a small town, baptist, pretty naive college student) ended up sitting on the stoop of government housing in St Paul chatting with a couple of transvestites. They had never heard that term before and I just said they are men who dress like women, but don’t hide that they are men.
Sounds like “she” might want to revert to being a guy...at least until the trial is over. That way “he” can blame it on “that other woman”.
"He attacked my brother first and my brother was defending himself," sister Mirlande Marcelin said.
So, what is it? Is he her brother? Is she her brother? Is he her sister? Is she her sister?
With all due sympathy for your family situation which can not be an easy thing to deal with, "her" does not apply to your sibling.
History: I had a younger brother who was homosexual; I never knew until after his death at 41 in San Francisco. I have a nephew in his early twenties who is dressing and behaving female. I do NOT call him "her" or "she" as doing so would denote acceptance of his illness as OK and not in need of treatment.
