I think they are screwed, police said the dead guy was 7 feet away, that's no reason to shot somebody, now if he swung the bat or hit the old fat f**ker with it then all bets are off.

They weren't justified. In any regard.
Two shots off camera then the bat got thrown. Then the son blasts one. Murder. And it's first degree since they came out with the guns drawn.
LTCers on here know not to brandish a weapon unless the intent is to use it.

These guys were all idiots, but the biggest idiot left in a bag. I'll bet somebody $500 they don't get convicted of murder. Maybe a lesser conviction, but not murder. There will be somebody on that jury that thinks Batboy was a threat.

Yup. The bat is my guess. The two shots popped first. Bat thrown, another pistol shot and the street howitzer almost simultaneous.

There is the Raul Rodriguez case.
Rodriguez, a retired Houston-area firefighter, was angry about the noise coming from a birthday party at his neighbor's home. He went over and got into an argument with 36-year-old elementary school teacher Danaher and two other men at the party.
Rodriguez the aggressor who took a gun to complain about loud music and could have safely left his neighbor's driveway in Huffman, TX. Rodriguez had a history of not getting along with Danaher and other neighbors.
One neighbor testified that Rodriguez, who had a concealed handgun license, bragged about his guns and told her a person could avoid prosecution in a shooting by telling authorities you were in fear of your life and were standing your ground and defending yourself. During the trial's punishment phase, neighbors, former co-workers and Rodriguez's ex-wife testified that Rodriguez was abusive, a bad neighbor and that he once shot a dog.
Raul Rodriguez was convicted of murder and is serving a 40 year sentence.Last edited by cabo390; 09-21-2018, 06:45 PM.

Well played sir. Very appropriate context. [emoji1360]

I can't say I'd be surprised but two things that I'm banking on that doesn't happen;
1) these two don't seem capable of producing the type of financing to hire a lawyer of that caliber
There's always a hard up young progressive hot shot that would take it pro Bono.
2) We're not Florida.
That will be a bad precedent to set for these cases in the future if they don't do time.
