Re: Police man convicted of Involuntary Manslaught
JD so you don't feel there's any possibility this officer just freaked out in the heat of the moment, grabbed the wrong weapon and didn't realize it? You really think he intended on shooting this young man in the back?
Justice was done. I hate when people say that. The case went through the process of justice, the case was heard (including all evidence that we haven't seen broken down for hours), and the verdict was delivered: involuntary manslaughter.
My question for the jury is this: if they didn't buy the "grabbed the wrong weapon" argument, did they go with the option that he flipped in the passion of the moment? I mean, what else is your intent to shoot a handcuffed man in the back?
