It will be a hung Jury and the state will not re-try the case.
Not unless there is another video showing something exculpating. This one destroys the Idiot’s claim of self-defense without question.
Not Guilty - a clear self-defense
Oh, he’ll pay even if he wins.
That was always my gripe about the TV show “Matlock”. Matlock was a “great” lawyer, who had done so well for himself that he could afford to only defend truly innocent people.
And for this, he charged them a flat fee of, I think, $100,000.
A small price to pay, supposedly, for getting your freedom when all the evidence made you look guilty.
But in the end, knowing they were innocent, each show was another case of a person being bankrupted by an unsympathetic or incompetent police force.
And Matlock was a great lawyer, but it isn’t really heroic to take $100,000 from an innocent person you KNOW is innocent, just to prove to the world that they are innocent.
Setting aside the legality of the shooting, one wonders why the boyfriend could not have reacted with a bit more shame and humility. You know, like maybe “I’m sorry we parked illegally. We were in a hurry and it was just for a couple of minutes. We won’t do it again.”
Actually, I don’t wonder. It was because he was disrespected and the cracker had to pay. The couple escalated the conflict and he wound up getting killed.
I had a similar thing happen to me recently, even more trivial. I really wanted to punch the dude but I settled for verbally insulting him the best I could. You never know where a physical fight might end up. Neither I nor this guy were in any danger. I kept me cool, this guy didn’t.
