The jury had one or two that couldn't get with the program of the rest. I mean at least one juror thinkss he's guilty of murder???!!!
After being on a few juries, I don't know how they ever get 12 people to agree on anything.
I was on one where even though there was no doubt the fellow was guilty, a Baptist preacher wanted to turn him loose any way as he felt the guy had been reborn.

But would you have found him guilty of Murder? They charged him with murder which means he intended to kill him.
I would of found him guilty of manslaughter but not murder.
So the lesson in this thread is to mind your own business, just leave, call the cops, dont get involved, do nothing and continue to hide in the corner.
Our society has changed and not in a good way.

Originally posted by MetalMan2004 View PostI’m thinking things changed when Terry decided to confront a drunk guy when he didn’t need to.
Hindsight is always 20/20 but this is something worth thinking about ahead of time. The ultimate goal is to protect the family day in and day out, not just one night at 2am at a Denny’s. With that in mind he had two options. He could have waited inside with the women and children until the cops got there or the drunk guy left. In that case the drunk guy goes to jail and everyone goes home 30 minutes later than they wanted.
Option 2 is to go confront him when you don’t have too and put yourself at risk. If Terry had taken the former route he’d still be a hero to the kids he protected and he’d still be around to continue protecting his family. Instead he took the latter choice and is at best financially ruined, at worst in jail and financially ruined. Plus he has a man’s death weighing on his mind for the rest of his life.
A lot of what is wrong today..... just dont do anything and dont get involved. Wife is a police officer pretty sure she can't just stand buy and let some one relive themselves in public. Guys he should have let her handle it....smh

No matter how you slice it, we already know how this ended, with a dead drunk guy and Terry on trial when the alternative would have been the drunk guy going to jail and Terry going home. You can’t just blame that all on Kim Ogg (no I didn’t vote for her).
Didn’t this happen at like 2am, or am I mistaken? I’m still trying to figure out why there are kids at a Denny’s at that time of night.
No the cops were there....his wife is a police officer is she not? He was detained until the on duty police officers showed up. I thought you were a police officer in uniform or not. Am I wrong?
