I think it's a case where the prosecutor had to get this nasty little pill off the road and out of circulation.
Drejka is going down. The prosecutor was quietly collecting his nasty little history of "confrontations" - and there will be more people coming forward...
This looked like he provoked a confrontation, in order to shoot someone.
The guy was a total jerk for shoving him on the ground- but shooting him was murder.
If he had shot him AS HE APPROACHED it would be different. But you can’t shoot someone who is retreating.
Especially not one of the protected classes.
If you are sitting inside your car with closed and locked windows and doors you apparently CAN shoot someone coming out of his car to talk to you after you cause an accident. Especially if you are of the right protected class.
I doubt the judge will allow any unrelated non-criminal “incidents to be allowed as evidence in a trial- unless the rules of evidence and the nature of the incident being a stand alone issue- a good defense lawyer would object to any thing not directly related to the incident at hand. If objected and over-ruled, a good chance at successful appeal would stand.
Meanwhile, a basketball coach who killed a man for tapping on his car window mistakenly is charged with simple assault.....
