But you won’t hear this on CNN
Friday, Andrew Coffee was found not guilty on all five counts after state prosecutors alleged Coffee fired at officers during an early morning SWAT raid, resulting in the death of Coffee’s girlfriend.
More from WPBF:
VERO BEACH, Fla. — Andrew Coffee was found not guilty on all counts of murder and attempted first degree murder Friday.
Coffee is accused of firing at Indian River County Sheriff’s Deputies during an early morning drug raid at his home back in 2017.
His girlfriend, Alteria Woods was caught in the crossfire, shot 10 times and later died. Coffee was charged with the murder of Woods after a grand jury exonerated two law enforcement officers for her death.
Before the case went to the jury’s hand, Coffee took the stand to defend himself — blaming deputies for his girlfriend’s death.
The defense said Coffee was asleep and thought the flash-bang was gunfire so he fired his gun because he thought the was under attack.
“I was trying to protect me and Alteria and I thought I was doing that, but I feel I didn’t protect her. I can’t sleep with that … they killed her,” Coffee said.
The prosecutors said deputies did announce they were there. They say coffee fired at deputies and they returned fire.
Coffee was found guilty on a count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, which could have a penalty of up to 30 years in prison. He was also found not guilty in the murder of Woods.
The Indian River County Sheriff, Eric Flowers, released a statement following the verdict:
“It’s dissapointing that this jury did not see the tragic death of Alteria Woods occurred as a direct result of the actions of Andrew Coffee IV. Our hearts go out to the Woods family as they still suffer from a loss of their daughter, but we stand by a statement that she would still be here had Coffee simply complied with law enforcement.
While the media is busy casting spells over the Rittenhouse trial, feverishly trying to make it an issue of race, this trial and it’s verdict have gotten little attention:
With a GF named Alteria, can we assume Coffee is - no pun intended - black?
Solid assumption.
I think Coffee is a “IV”.(fourth)
Link takes me to a different story...?
Bust into someone’s house in the middle of night what do you expect to happen?
Thank God his last name wasn't Covfefe.
More information on the raid, most not supportive of Coffee Here, at Yala News, but not enough to determine fault.
Gotta back up to legalinsurretion.com
Andrew Coffee court trial....
Finally Groucho Marx could approach the bench as a lawyer to object, and the judge said “On what grounds?” Groucho said “coffee grounds.”
No Knock Warrants served by breaking down doors and lobbing flash bang grenades are nothing more than armed home invasions under color of law.
Try that on me and they will get the same damn thing.
Post the best post of the day and win $100.
“The prosecutors said deputies did announce they were there.”
Before or after they threw grenades into his house?
L
The story at the link is even more interesting. I hope the guy in the story at the link sues and wins a zillion $$- like Kyle!!
Me, I think I see an alteria motive here.
SWAT raids are the backbone of tyranny...
The LEOs have run amok since the klintoon years...
Thanks.
So when the cops show up at your door, and you, a convicted felon, illegally in possession of a fire arm, open fire on them, if the cops return fire, you get to claim self-defense, and won’t be held responsible for whatever deaths or injuries occur just because you fired first.
I would assume it’s on tape...if it’s not...these guys are idiots.
