It sounds like maybe this case could use a special prosecutor. Comrade Grumpy Apr 2012 #3

I'm starting to wonder about who the three men are possibly connected to.. Fumesucker Apr 2012 #4

That's what I'm curious about, too. I saw another case in Alabama recently pnwmom Apr 2012 #10

No criminal is ever guilty - just ask them. nt hack89 Apr 2012 #5

Nor are men who shoot unarmed teenager(s) unnecessarily . . . . . according to the gun culture. Hoyt Apr 2012 #7

That's why we let the police do an investigation and find out the facts. nt hack89 Apr 2012 #8

The initial police investigation into the Zimmerman's case didn't get out the facts. pnwmom Apr 2012 #12

And of course the defendant's lawyer is the perfect place to get the impartial and balanced story. hack89 Apr 2012 #14

I didn't say that. I said there are TWO sides to the story, and we've only been hearing one. pnwmom Apr 2012 #17

Do you expect the police and the DA to hold a press conference hack89 Apr 2012 #20

Do you not understand that the DA has already announced she's NOT pressing charges pnwmom Apr 2012 #21

But there is an ongoing investigation into the youths actions, correct? hack89 Apr 2012 #25

I agree. The DA shouldn't be publicly releasing information now. pnwmom Apr 2012 #36

I suspect that a murder investigation against the kids is a bigger priority. hack89 Apr 2012 #39

It obviously is. But why? pnwmom Apr 2012 #47

No - we are talking potential first degree murder charges for the kids hack89 Apr 2012 #57

Yeah, no convicted cocaine trafficker with a record of gun violations pnwmom Apr 2012 #11

And no kid with a murder charge hanging over his head would ever lie about his guilt. nt hack89 Apr 2012 #13

The teens ARE facing charges. Why aren't the shooters? pnwmom Apr 2012 #15

Because the DA and the police don't have your legal acume? hack89 Apr 2012 #19

He isn't playing legal games. He's exercising his 5th amendment rights. pnwmom Apr 2012 #22

So let me get this straight hack89 Apr 2012 #27

According to media reports, the shooters have never claimed they were present during a burglary pnwmom Apr 2012 #34

But the kids are murder suspects hack89 Apr 2012 #38

That's true. They don't get to pick and choose. But the DA does have that discretion. pnwmom Apr 2012 #50

It is clear in the eyes of the law hack89 Apr 2012 #58

It is not clear at all that she was killed during the execution of a felony crime. pnwmom Apr 2012 #59

So you have access to the police investigation hack89 Apr 2012 #63

No, I don't. But a lot of people here are assuming that the teens are guilty pnwmom Apr 2012 #67

You are not disagreeing with me - you are disagreeing with the law hack89 Apr 2012 #72

Not every state would let the shooters off with no charges and no trial. pnwmom Apr 2012 #74

So are the police and the DA acting in malicious manner hack89 Apr 2012 #75

You're right. If that reasoning is followed, it will be better for the teens. pnwmom Apr 2012 #77

I disagree that they can't be separated - if there isn't a valid justification petronius Apr 2012 #64

If they were commiting a felony when she was shot hack89 Apr 2012 #66

I get that, but it doesn't mean the shooter shouldn't be charged, and there's no petronius Apr 2012 #70

Until the teens talk to the police about what happened prior to the shooting hack89 Apr 2012 #73

Are you referring to the shooter? or the dead girl? i am guessing you side with the gun. nm rhett o rick Apr 2012 #29

No - I am talking about the kid with a murder charge hanging over his head. hack89 Apr 2012 #30

Kick. nt. polly7 Apr 2012 #6

This case needs to be made high profile as well. Kalidurga Apr 2012 #9

This one is much less likely to gain traction... AmazingSchnitzel Apr 2012 #71

This has gone on for decades ... might makes right cr8tvlde Apr 2012 #16

If you can't trust a defendant's lawyer, who can you trust? Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #18

Are you saying that the shooters' lawyers would be more reliable? pnwmom Apr 2012 #23

What has the shooter's lawyer said? nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #24

The shooters lawyer said that it was all a big accident. pnwmom Apr 2012 #40

So we should believe the defendant's lawyer over the shooter's lawyer why exactly? nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #45

No, we shouldn't. We should have a TRIAL of the shooter to sort everything out. n/t pnwmom Apr 2012 #46

On what charge exactly? Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #49

Reckless endangerment, negligent homicide -- SOMETHING. nt pnwmom Apr 2012 #53

I outlined why this will not happen in my other post further down the thread. nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #55

I agree with you. If you dont support the authoritarians, you would have chaos. nm rhett o rick Apr 2012 #28

So the DA and sheriff are the authoritarians in this scenario? Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #31

Is that a rhetorical question? It sure as hell isnt the dead girl. nm rhett o rick Apr 2012 #32

So you believe everything a defense attorney says as long as someone is dead? nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #33

Why dont you state your case instead of asking me questions in the hopes of me stating your case? rhett o rick Apr 2012 #35

Please list the details of the investigation performed in this case. nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #37

I said I agree with your support of the authoritarians with the guns. Why rhett o rick Apr 2012 #41

So you can't answer the question? nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #43

This is too crazy. What question? I can answer any question. nm rhett o rick Apr 2012 #68

Google is your friend. pnwmom Apr 2012 #42

I have not seen the details of the police investigation in any of those. nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #44

And you never will if they don't decide to press charges against the shooter. pnwmom Apr 2012 #48

On what charge exactly? Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #51

On any charge. Reckless endangerment? Negligent homicide? pnwmom Apr 2012 #52

DA is only going to bring charges if they think they can convict him. And DA's love convictions. Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #54

But you already acknowledged that they haven't released their investigation pnwmom Apr 2012 #60

You are far more transparent than you think you are. morningfog Apr 2012 #65

It should be pointed out that Bay Minette sudopod Apr 2012 #26

Too many trigger happy rednecks with guns shooting innocent teenagers Dont call me Shirley Apr 2012 #56

I call bullshit. I live in the county where this happened. trof Apr 2012 #61

Even if this was not an intentional shooting, why did these adult men (some with LisaL Apr 2012 #62

Why was she killed? Being bad doesnt deserve being killed. rhett o rick Apr 2012 #69

Wrong place at the wrong time hack89 Apr 2012 #76

Wrong place at the wrong time??? rhett o rick Apr 2012 #78

Except there is no evidence the shooter deliberately aimed and shot her in the back of head hack89 Apr 2012 #79

Lets see what the investigation, grand jury and possible trial come up with, shall we? nt hack89 Apr 2012 #83

I would have it no other way. It just upsets me when so many people take the side of the shooter. rhett o rick Apr 2012 #84
