Please avoid strawman arguments -- it only shows you likely have no basis for your position.
Djerka was assaulted by mcGlockton, a criminal and aggravated assault - a violent crime. No prosecutor is going to deny that.
This case will be decided on imminence and proportionality. I agree it is a...
McGlockton's attack and violent assault could simply is one of millions that occur without substantial or legitimate reason. your or my not easily imagining any illegitimate reason just means we are not the type of person who commits assaults.
This case is much more about imminence of threat...
Police arrive in time to prevent 2 to 4% of violnet crime. And your lack of knowledge as to US code and case law means what? What you are saying is no self defense is valid which puts your view outside of all established US law
I just disagree it will apply. Even if allowed to be argued, the issue is not retreat since in a theater seating situation it can be easily argued there is not reasonably expectation of completely safe retreat against an assault. The issue will remain whether throwing popcorn creates a...
My guess is that some DAs in Florida are getting tired of people thinking a concealed carry permit also makes them a "Regulator". "Regulators" have a long history of rapidly becoming everything they claim to be against- including criminals. Best to nip such thoughts in the bud.
My guess is not...
Retired Police Captain Reeves is not a stand your ground case. A defense attorney throwing it in as part of a kitchen sink defense when he knew it was not going to qualified as even being considered as such does not make it a stand your ground -- especially given the judge threw out evoking...
As the other poster had mentioned double jeopardy, it is not every western country at all. some western countries have no such prohibition against double jeopardy, and most have a putative prohibition yet make exceptions that would never be allowed in the US. EG. S. Africa has a prohibition...
just to be clear here a 180lb man strongly slapping or lightly punching a 90lb female on the mouth will cause a split lip which actually can bleed quite a lot. anything is possible, but the simplest answer is usually the best and nothing excludes the simplest on which is a split lip from a slap...
Perhaps she was an annoying self centered person who was conflicted about being married (mood swings before marriage are the norm) who broke all the procedural rules and made his charged job harder.
Not to speak ill of the dead, or excuse the killing at all, but you are ascribing all kinds of...
no. bludgeoning is messy in the extreme and difficult. Strangulating is simple quick and not inherently sadistic. a strong enough assailant renders the victim unconscious within a couple of seconds.
a 180 lb man strangling a 90 lb woman does the following:
1) renders the victim unconscious...
Denial? how about the simple rational instinct to cover a crime?
His actions after the crime were like every unprofessional killer -- a mix of rational and irrational acts. hiding the body was one of the more rational acts.
If he had a passport and lots and lots cash it would be rational...
wow! you are taking things that all derived from circumstance -- what was at hand, what was available -- and ascribing motive and reason to them. that is causally backwards!
How about the choked or strangled her because that is the simplest, cleanest, easiest quietest and perhaps only method...
Don't forget that the evidence coming out looks good for him in one sense, that it is appearing more and more to be second degree not first degree.
Not to taxing at all.
Scenario: They exchange words. She scratches at him and he punches her, or visa versa. he strangles her, or choke holds...
Actually the entire body of evidence is perfectly consistent with second degree.
Why did he swipe his card, why did he murder her in a crime scene he didn't control and where he himself worked? why did he hide his lab coat? etc?
Simple: Because it all fits perfectly with an unplanned murder.
No! WHY are people saying that! Traumatic asphyxia in ACCIDENTS is usually crush. IN murder traumatic asphyxia is almost always simple face to face manual strangulation or a simple choke hold!
Someone here with no background in murder cause of death must have mistakenly done an internet...
I think we are getting well ahead of ourselves and making some false assumptions on procedures and likely scenarios which are clear from history of cases such as this.
First: where are we getting the idea that anyone but a few (perhaps even only one) prime suspects in the area would have been...
he had defensive wounds. She was struck.
I think the odds are she was punched in the face and strangled (hence the blood on the accused's shoes)
No, they got her out intact. they opened the wall to make that easy and to look for and protect other evidence besides the body itself (things...
