Hearsay becomes evidence when people provide a sworn testimony to the court. Same with a police report. A police report is hearsay until the police officer goes to court and enters a sworn testimony of events. Then it becomes evidence.

Ya which isn’t going to happen. So it’s hearsay and will stay that way. It would not in any way prove the content of that report actually happened. These are old reports and nothing ever turned into any charges and it sounds like none were ever even referred to the da. So they are just about useless.

More bad news for prosecutor. Just before the surprise attack by M the women steps out of the car to confront Drejka. Then Drejka is blindsided by M and he now faces two possible attackers.

Been reading up on the pretrial immunity potential which I think is a very good possibility here. The state would have to disprove self defense and with a blind side attack and two potential attackers standing over him I think its a done deal.

What amazes me is the sheer effrontery of the Toad Drejka.

Both times he got popped for "brandishing", he lied through his teeth to the cops - and the cops knew it.

So he's got a sociopath thing going along with his "sad sack" disguise.

case #1: Drejka told the deputy the other car had cut him off at State Road 580 and U.S. 19. He said he honked and yelled but did not follow the other car and did not show a gun.

So how did they get your license plate number, Drejka, you lying sack of Mitt?

They had the foresight to get it before they cut you off?

case #2: A man in a black Toyota pickup had just threatened one of them with a gun, they said, pointing it out. They drove off, but the officer turned around to follow the truck on Dec. 13, 2012.

The driver of the Toyota pulled into a church parking lot before the officer could make a traffic stop. By the time the officer approached, Drejka already held his driver’s license and concealed carry permit in hand.

He said "he had not pointed a gun at the other car," according to a police report, and that the other people were lying, before the officer asked any questions.

Nice trick, that.

Then he lied about wearing the gun - the officer saw the imprint on his skin.

But all this makes no matter - the phone call to the septic system company is gonna burn him down...

Your opponent's posts are getting more hilarious by the minute.

Looks like the prosecution will pin their hopes on the what appears to be a pause before the shot was fired. That's just silly being the guy was just violently blindsided. He could have been disoriented from the hit. Read this article where a judge recently threw a manslaughter charge out based on an officers fear for his life. If they threw that one out this one will be tossed for sure.

If this is not thrown out the people of the state of FL have some serious work to do on their judicial system. Here's the link
