Sorry for the delay. I was not able to log on 'til now. I am still not a lawyer, so I will defer to those who are.philip964 wrote: Thu May 21, 2020 9:45 pm https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/bre ... zu6QiK46K/
The video guy in the truck coming up on the shooting has been arrested for murder.
I’ll love to hear all the experts on line explain this one.
The article mentions this guy talked to authorities without a lawyer. Even took a lie detector test. Huge mistake. Never talk to authorities with no lawyer when the possibility of being accused of a crime exists. Somehow he worded something in a way that made him a part of the murder rather than just a witness to the murder. People forget that the job of the police is to find a crime. They are never looking to find an innocent person.philip964 wrote: Sat May 23, 2020 9:52 am https://news.yahoo.com/man-recorded-ahm ... 20523.html
Video guy used his vehicle to illegally detain Ahmaud, a felony.
He passed a lie detector test that he didn’t have a gun.03Lightningrocks wrote: Sat May 23, 2020 11:06 amThe article mentions this guy talked to authorities without a lawyer.

I would love to see the transcript of his interview. It only takes one slip up in wording to make you part of the crime.
Exactly! People too often think they are innocent of a crime so they just open up and blather away to the police. Only to suddenly find themselves sitting in jail. Let this be a lesson to us all. From witness to accessory. Holly cow. I didn't see this one coming.philip964 wrote: Sat May 23, 2020 11:12 amHe passed a lie detector test that he didn’t have a gun.03Lightningrocks wrote: Sat May 23, 2020 11:06 amThe article mentions this guy talked to authorities without a lawyer.

I guess General Flynn is a good example of why not to speak to the police.
I think he thought he was being a good witness.
This guy does a pretty good job of saying the shooters are in a heap of trouble.Flightmare wrote: Tue May 26, 2020 12:25 pm Interesting legal point of view on the case

Very good read. It gives one many things to think about. One consideration at work in stand your ground laws or even self defense appears to whether or not one has instigated the situation requiring the use of deadly force. If I am not mistaken some states have a duty to retreat laws. I feel Texas comfortably falls between the two extremes of Stand your ground and duty to retreat. The one common factor of both stand your ground and self defense is that one cannot instigate the situation that required the use of deadly force.philip964 wrote: Wed May 27, 2020 11:00 pm https://news.yahoo.com/arbery-case-exem ... 37629.html
Stand you ground and race.
