[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a 51 year old woman and no bleeping way am I turning my back exposing myself to serious injury while under active attack by a group of drunken hostile teenagers.

Anyone suggesting this is a wise or recommended course of action is an idiot. Full stop.

As a former rural red state America prosecutor, I’m sickened at the charges leveled against this man. They aren’t supported by the known evidence. The state is trying to coerce him into a guilty plea to lesser charges rather than grapple with the complexity and gray in the case and enduring the ire of some of the public - as any truly good prosecutor following the mandate to ‘seek justice, not merely convictions’ should expect to every day of his or her career.

The force of nature that is a parent with a dead kid drives far too many prosecutors to doggedly pursue wrongful convictions in order to quiet the outraged victim family. Sadly in some cases, victims are victims of their own idiocy first and foremost.

These kids had ZERO reason to interact with this guy. If they didn’t like the looks of him they could have floated out of his reach, easily. Surrounding him, yelling insults and accusations, touching him - they absolutely provoked a confrontation and it is entirely within the reasonable standard for a man outnumbered 4 or 5 to 1 to muster all means available for self defense.

He’ll be acquitted.[/quote]

This posting is concerning. Are you in fact a "former rural red state America prosecutor?"

Here is another angle on what happened:

It seems this man was behaving aggressively towards the kids, and not the other way around. The kids repeatedly asked him to leave them alone. A group of 20-something kids came to the rescue, because the teen age kids were yelling for help - before the stabbings began. If I understand the account correctly, a girl from the second group was one of the young folks who were suddenly stabbed without having done or said anything to provoke the man into stabbing her.

I hope if you really are a former prosecutor, you don't intend to go back to being a prosecutor. You're making assumptions without knowing all the facts. [/quote]

Did you watch the trial, poster?

The young adults are liars, almost to a person. They lied under oath on the stand, even knowing their own cellphone videos dispute their versions of events. The jury has asked to see the videos 3 times during deliberations, and I'll be surprised if they convict him of even the lesser included that the desperate prosecution tacked on at the last minute because they know their own witnesses came off as totally incredible liars, instigators, and a mob that he needed to defend himself against.

Thank you for your righteous judgment of me, just the same. I bet you've never set foot in a courtroom - except maybe to get divorced.  :roll: [/quote]
