The National Rifle Association's top lawyer, who has been instrumental in shaping gun policy in the U.S., was once convicted of murdering a woman in Indiana....
Robert J. Dowlut, general counsel for the NRA, reportedly admitted to police in 1963 that he killed his girlfriend's mother. He was 17 years old at the time. Dowlut reportedly led police to the graveyard where he buried the gun and also copped to attempting to rob a pawnshop the same night as the killing.
Bullets from the gun Dowlut unearthed at the graveyard matched those found at the site of Anna Marie Yocum's murder and at the pawnshop, according to Mother Jones.
A jury found Dowlut guilty of murder, but his conviction was later overturned because of shoddy police work during the investigation....

Well, that's embarrassing. It also begs the question of why the case wasn't re-tried with proper police work.

Uh, the story said it was overturned, which means he is now not guilty of murder. That’s how our system works. But you knew that, right?

It’s a classic case of a perp getting off on a ridiculous technicality.

I see PlasticMan just recently joined up with FR. The smell of disrupters and trolls around here is getting thick again.
To: TribalPrincess2U
He won’t last long here. The storm clouds are gathering, and lightning will surely follow.

Reportedly?
Reported by whom?
Oh, there it is at the bottom of the story-
“Read the full story at Mother Jones >”
BS.
To: PlasticMan
Yeah, you say that until you're the defendant. As it stands now, he's not a “murderer” at all, no more than George Zimmerman is, despite the protestations of the left. If I were in his shoes, I'd be on the horn with my attorney, getting the lawsuit against that site going.

The idea of letting people out of jail is that they are theoretically able to become productive members of society. This gut chose to be a lawyer instead.
