Prosecutors are known to have great influence on grand juries no consequense for their actions.

I don’t see the issue here...he should have killed them both.

What an amazingly information free article. It tells nothing about why the clerk was indicted. Was he just defending himself and the prosecutor has gone rogue? Or did the clerk put a couple of extra rounds into the robber after he was down and he’s lucky to not be up on a first degree murder charge? We’ll never know from this article.

More details here. The clerk shot the robber ten times with a 9mm. Probably in the stress of the moment he just emptied the magazine.

Regardless of whether he's eventually cleared, his legal expenses will be high, and he'll probably have to accept a plea bargain in order to not be completely ruined. This sucks.

Unless there’s something we’re not being told her, this grand jury should immediately be disbanded and the prosecutor reprimanded.

From a older article.

Store clerk shoots, kills robbery suspect

{snip} “He is gone but he is not forgotten,” Ms. Ratliff said. “He loved football. And he loved his nieces and nephews.”

Allen, who had felony convictions, had been released Oct. 7 from the Lucas County jail, where he was booked after being arrested and accused of disorderly conduct and failure to display a license plate, according to jail records.

He also was facing a felonious assault charge for allegedly shooting a girl in the hand during an altercation in June.{/snip}

It sounds as though Mr. Abu-Karsh did the citizens a favor. A lot more than the "government" has done for the citizenry in regards to dealing with Allen.

Fire until the threat is neutralized.

After that you’re in trouble.

Larger caliber, more practice, makes the first shots count.

“The issue was that although [Mr. Abu-Karsh’s] conduct was initially justified, the grand jury concluded that his subsequent conduct was not in self defense,” he said.

The story conveniently omits what the "subsequent conduct" was. With shots fired at the clerk, it would seem that, unless he stood over the guy he shot and popped a couple more rounds into him, the charges are a farce.

It's simple logic, really.

Bad guys came in shooting guns and bad guys died.

No bad guys come in shooting guns, no bad guys die.

I guess he thought killing the thieves was ok because its allowed under Sharia Law.
