Publicized trial going on now. Everyone involved seems white. Seems ridiculous to charge him with 1st degree murder and 4 counts of attempted murder. Maybe they offered to reduce it to 2nd degree murder. Seems like manslaughter or self defense. Defendant has heart condition. Group of teenagers were surrounding him and making fun of him. Seems like kids making fun or bullying in school. He was pushed into the water a couple of time. Stabbed 5 of them with 3 inch folding knife he had. The one killed had blood alcohol level of 0.22%. These days 0.08% is drunk driving. Defense argues it was 13 on 1 and they were probably in much better physical condition. Defendant may have overreacted, but no way was it 1st degree murder.

If you have a chance to walk away, it’s always best to do so.

I’ve watched most of this from the beginning.
But after hearing the details, it’s not as open an shut as one woukd think.
Those kids were drunk, high and provoked a response by actually assaulting him.....did that provocation justify him pulling a knife and stabbing 5 people killing one?
That’s the jury’s job to decide.
On Friday it was revealed that once he stabbed them he left and had to be located......that’s not a good look for someone proclaiming innocence.
I suspect he’s going to prison but it won’t be 1st degree murder.

Looked like to me he came back. Also sounded like they didn't
push him until after he hit a female.
He didn't need to stab those kids. He's a frickin' nutcase.
