[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you are confusing "having reasonable doubts about when the victim died" with "thinking that the criminal should go free."

I don't think Kenisha Brown should go free. I think she should be in jail. She carjacked someone. Unfortunately, judges in DC are soft on crime and have made clear that they don't jail people for carjacking.

Now, do I think murder is a horrible crime? Yes. Do I think someone convicted of a murder should face the strongest consequence possible? Also yes.

Do I think it's fair to say that there's some reasonable doubt that Kenisha Brown killed this woman? Again, yes.

She is not a victim and we don't need to be "compassionate" to her mental health as some would suggest. (hell, her mental health is fine, she didn't have a psychiatric episode SHE WAS ON DRUGS) But it is not an automatic that she is the reason someone died, when that someone was being driven to the hospital for a medical emergency.

Make sense?

So, people in hospital parking lots are fair game if you want to murder someone because they might be experiencing a medical issue? Noted.[/quote]
Yes! That's literally exactly what I said!

Jokes aside, that is not at all what I said and you know it. I said it will be hard to prove that the woman died because of the crash. Now, if a perfectly healthy person not experiencing a medical emergency was carjacked, and the autopsy later concluded they had died as the result of the crash, yes, that would be fairly easy to prove.

You do get that this woman has likely had an autopsy done and if the murder charge was dropped, they couldn't conclude it was homicide?

That being said I do hope this little animal gets the book thrown at her. She may not have murdered this particular woman, but mark my words, if we let her out she will never learn her lesson and go on to murder someone else.[/quote]

So, if I push someone off a building and they have a heart attack on the way down, I have no responsibility for the death? The woman was denied access to medical treatment. You seem to be saying that this is OK. Even if that someone dies from that denied access. I am guessing you work for the health insurance industry.[/quote]
No. If you push someone off a building and they have a heart attack on the way down, you could make the argument that the stress of being pushed off a building caused the heart attack and you should be held criminally responsible for that!

Agree that if the woman was not dead, she was denied access to medical treatment when she was carjacked. It will be difficult to prove when she died though.

You seem really dense. [/quote]

You are claiming the daughter was driving around a corpse?[/quote]

The decedent died before Kayla ever took the car.  For that reason she cannot be guilty of murder or kidnapping.  You can’t murder a dead person.  Even the US Attorney acknowledged this.  That’s why they dropped the murder and kidnapping charge.[/quote]

there’s zero proof of that[/quote]

You clearly don't understand how criminal law works.  Kayla doesn't have to prove that.  The US Attorney has to prove that's NOT true.  They clearly realized that they can't do that and that's why they lowered the charges.  [/quote]
