Your buddy gets shot and killed by the owner. You can be charged with felony-murder.<br /><br />I point that out 3:35 because there is no person so close-minded as to think he already knows everything, including and especially the law.<br /><br />There really is no person more ignorant than an Internet lawyer.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-83781572352967046492014-08-21T22:44:26.276-04:002014-08-21T22:44:26.276-04:00matty, what is the rate of claimed innocence by th...matty, what is the rate of claimed innocence by those rightfully convicted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-50677008330010984972014-08-21T22:11:01.845-04:002014-08-21T22:11:01.845-04:002nd degree murder, not 1st degree.

Although, if Brown had wrestled Wilson's gun from him and shot Wilson to death with it, I find it hard to believe Brown couldn't be charged with murder because it wasn't pre-meditated.<br />Also, if you shoot a liquor store clerk to death during a robbery, you can't be charged with murder because it wasn't pre-meditated?

He then allegedly returned and charged at Wilson. (This is supported by the fact that Brown was not shot in the back.) <br /><br />Even if it's established that Brown was charging at Wilson, I think his distance might make a legal difference. If he was close, the shooting was more justifiable than if he were still some distance away. We do know that Brown was not right on top of Wilson when Wilson shot him, because there were no powder burns. According to a source found via google:<br /><i>At the 3-5 foot range the gunshot residues may only consist of a few trace particles and make determining the firing distance difficult if not impossible.<br /><br />As the firearm gets closer to its target the residue concentrations increase and the actual size or diameter to the pattern gets smaller. At around 18-24 inches most firearms will start to deposit considerable concentrations of gunshot residues that may or may not be visible to the eye.<br /><br />At distances of less than around 12 inches heavy concentrations of visible gunshot residues will normally be deposited.</i><br /><br />David in Calnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-22161967928517836682014-08-21T18:56:55.997-04:002014-08-21T18:56:55.997-04:00It's as safe to conclude that Wilson is a shit...It's as safe to conclude that Wilson is a shitty cop, as it is safe to conclude that Brown did assault the officer.<br /><br />Berto Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-21856093688274075152014-08-21T18:43:29.664-04:002014-08-21T18:43:29.664-04:00According to the Innocence Project, the wrongful c...According to the Innocence Project, the wrongful conviction rate due to eyewitness evidence is 75%.matty coopernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-63726428965166694722014-08-21T16:27:42.403-04:002014-08-21T16:27:42.403-04:00Berto obviously meant to state Brown instead of Wl...Berto obviously meant to state Brown instead of Wlson.

There is no circumstance where Wilson is a murderer because that crime requires intent and premeditation (1st deg) and the requirements of his job would make it hard to demonstrate that. It is inflammatory language being used to generate heat, fuel the lynch mob. At best, Wilson did his community a favor by removing a violent felon from the streets. A cop who winds up having to kill someone is not automatically a shitty cop and saying so "at best" punishes someone for doing difficult work. It displays a stunning lack of empathy for a person who is performing dangerous public service on a daily basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-77044486048706850562014-08-21T15:29:55.753-04:002014-08-21T15:29:55.753-04:00Wilson is the cop.
