Now THAT'S a jury.
>> Now THAT’S a jury.
Absolutely. Not much of a DA/prosecutor team though. Why in the world did they ever charge him?
Florida.
A lot of prosecutors will use the state’s ability to manipulate the accused into signing plea agreements.
Too bad the prosecutor doesn’t have to serve the time for bringing needless charges.
It’s a lot quicker to acquit than convict. I was on a jury in February that convicted a woman on 3 counts of aggravated robbery and 1 count of child endangerment when she plowed over 3 WalMart employees with her car while getting away from being detained for shop lifting. It took us 25 minutes to get everything done. It would have taken just 15, but we did have to go over each charge individually.
>> Florida.
‘nuff said; they’re kind of into that sort of thing, aren’t they.
What? Justice?
Never mind, I see what you meant in context. At least the juries are getting it right.
Isn’t JAX Angela Corey’s home turf?

Political pressure...
PC attitude /lib-ethics culture...

Cops made the arrest mistake--
.... DA felt obligated to give them cover.
JMO...
Why in the world did they ever charge him?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To punish him with enormous legal bills and a year or more of excruciating worry. And....To send a message to other gun owners that they will be similarly punished.
But did the “victim” have Skittles in his pocket? Critical missing info from the article.
Shhhh... Nobody tell Al Sharpton!
Thank you so much, for noticing that about us.
Please join Jesse Jackson in his boycott of our state.
We don't care what ethnicity you claim.
If you attempt to rob or assault one of us,or one of our tourist guests, you have a greater than 70% chance of encountering a legal, lethal self defense situation.
Here’s a defense that nobody ever uses any more. JUDGE I’D RATHER BE TRIED BY 12, THAN BE CARRIED BY 6. In the old days, this was one of the defenses that was very popular.
trying to find the specifics of the incident and not having any luck. Anyone familiar with the case?
yes...JAX is Corey’s hometown/turf
>> Please join Jesse Jackson in his boycott of our state.
WTF? Pull your head out of your ass.
I was talking about the proclivity of your floriduh DISTRICT ATTORNEYS to falsely PROSECUTE legitimate acts of self defense / SYG.
To quiet that voter base.
Should’ve charged both with battery. Drop charges as part of the deal.
They want to make concealed carry unlawful in fact if not in law to keep a compliant victim pool.
