Interesting story. If the defense lawyer is positively correct and Ramirez called in a friend who had a gun with him, in Virginia the friend, and Ramierez, if he'd survived, would have gone to prison for an extra 5 years for having a gun present while commiting a crime.
Since Ramirez died the "friend" with the gun, part of the gang?, would be tried for his murder.
Apparantly the law in Pennsylvania is not sufficiently evolved to properly target the problem.
And now we know the rest of the story. White boys meet mouthy gang member. Gang member loses the fight. Leftists come out screeching those who oppose illegal immigration are racist murderers. Americans refuse to join the Left’s race baiting witch hunt.
That is not the end of the story. Leftists will go federal now. Double jeopardy is against the constitution.
