In reply to the discussion: Teen's lawyer: the fishermen intentionally shot at the teens, resulting in Summer Moody's death [View all]rhett o rick
(55,981 posts)35. Why dont you state your case instead of asking me questions in the hopes of me stating your case?
I believe that if someone with a gun kills someone there needs to be a serious investigation. I said serious investigation, not some bullshit, good ole boy look the other way.
The authoritarians among us think that if someone is doing something wrong (in Trayvor Martins case, being in the wrong neighborhood with a hoody) and get killed, tough shit. I dont agree.

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

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

It is not clear at all that she was killed during the execution of a felony crime.

So we should believe the defendant's lawyer over the shooter's lawyer why exactly? nt

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

DA is only going to bring charges if they think they can convict him. And DA's love convictions.

I would have it no other way. It just upsets me when so many people take the side of the shooter.
