Guy who ran over robber 3 times now charged with murder (1 Viewer)

[hammernnails]

i'm not too sure a valid defense on a murder charge would be, "I wanted to be absolutely sure I murdered him"

just sayin'

i think if i was the attorney i'd be more inclined towards the "rage" or "temporary insanity" defenses

The rage defense is used too often... You need to throw the jury off.. hit em' with some defense they never heard before.... The "I wanted to make sure he was dead" defense is fresh and new and just might work....

i thought Texas had already been using "He Needed Killin'" for years

Maybe if this were more common there would be less crime. Personally if on the jury I would vote not guilty.

I dont know if you have a wife and/or kids but a defense switch should go off in your head if someone is holding a knife to their neck... I would not hold you accountable for tracking them down and extinguishing them.... just pray I am on your jury.. because not a lot of people think like me...

Hammer, I have to ask you my friend...were it your child that was run over would you feel the same way? Would you be so quick to take the tattoo parlor owner's word for it that your kid was trying to stab/rob his wife? In other words, you would have no need for a trial, you'd just take the guy's word for it and be happy he put an end to your kid's life before you were able to get his side of the story?

Dont ask me hard questions........


J/K.... You make a strong and valid point!!...To be serious for a moment (i hate to be serious) ... I am 100% in favor of the trial and and if it comes to light that this kid did not hold a knife to the womans neck and there was no intent to rob.. yet the tahoe man killed the kid for whatever reason...then yes he needs to be held accountable!!

but if there were my kid and he was on film holding a knife to someone ...I would feel horrible ... but I could understand the actions of the driver .. only because that would be my reaction....

. there you go... you got me to be serious....

This isn't even close. If a scumbag held a knife to my wife's throat, I'd run over him and take the consequences. Reminds me of the video I saw 20 years ago when a child molester was brought back to Baton Rouge to stand trial. The father of the victim was waiting at the airport and shot the accused dead. The case was brought to the Grand Jury, and no indictment was returned. He Needed Killin(tm).

Bad driving in my opinion and should be sentenced to 48 hours of drivers education classes.

Best response ! I was going to say something like that too !

Ok, I can see running him down even twice, but Hell, he had to pull up forward again so he could drive back to his wife.... Dang, she was scared and all !

Apparently the guy has a history of problems with assault with vehicles. There were lots of witnesses to the incident. There is a Sonic Drive In directly across the street from the pizza place.

I have made a mental note now, only run the person over once.

That article doesnt change my opinion at all... the kid tryed to rob the wrong person...it may have been his first attempt to rob someone..... but I am sure it was his last ..I feel bad for his family but I feel worse for the Tahoe guy....
