second-degree murder is a lesser charge than first-degree murder, but more serious than manslaughter.

The penalties and sentencing for a second-degree conviction are severe. So he's going to serve time..... at least 15 years even if they consider mitigating circumstances.

Well his family and attorneys will d all they can to lesson the penalties.....but he’s defiantly not going to walk anytime soon......He’s 30 now 15 yrs at least his best years will be in prison....45 when he gets out I doubt his young wife will wait around since they just got married and had no time to solidify their marriage..

I’m stunned. I really thought they’d try to let him get away with it.

“I 100% believe he did go there to escalate confrontations and create an incident where he could shoot someone.”

I’m with you. I also think it’s possible that Doloff thought he had baited Keltner into drawing his gun at which point Doloff could shoot him and claim self defense.....but Keltner didn’t draw.

Probably not. 1st is premeditated, lying in wait, etc. They would never get a conviction on premeditation.

Exactly. He sure as hell was not de-escalating the situation. Like was said, he was trying to “make” the news.

Strapping the gun to his body, to me, is premeditating the use of it. He was not in fear of his life, he wanted to kill someone that day and was given the opportunity.
The Second degree charge is dodging the issue. The DA is not doing his job. Of course the unknown reaction of the Denver organized wreckers might be on the DA’s mind.

If he goes there with deliberate intent, its 1st degree.

And i believe he went there to escalate things so he could have a reason to shoot someone. That is intent, and that is 1st degree.

He got slapped because he first reached into the victim’s jacket/vest.

The real story is that the media has been hiring these hoodlums to cause trouble under the presence they are there to guard the media.

What about his 2 accomplices that were videotaped Planning this Incitement to Riot and commit Violence?? They are both just as culpable since the man died as a result of this criminal conspiracy to incite violence and rioting.

I personally think you are wrong.

I think you are right and I think the victim was the intended target all along. He was well known to the reporter in question it has been previously reported.
