Crime blotter

[crimsonaudio]

I'm certainly not a lawyer but it seems to me that, based on what I've read and heard about the testimony, a conviction of criminally negligent homicide isn't unrealistic. I'm open to other thoughts and acknowledge that I might be ill-informed, so I'd like to hear why that's not correct.

I'm also not a lawyer, but I think there has to be some discretion in the application of the law. In cases like this, where someone reacted (in arguably heroic fashion) to protect others from someone acting insane, where the death was obviously unintentional, I'd argue he shouldn't even be charged with anything that would result in jail time.

If anything, we want people like Penny walking among us, imo.

Sounds like they may have the CEO shooter. Private citizen noticed him at a McDonalds in PA. Found a gun and silencer plus multiple fake ID's and some paperwork that may give insight to the motive. Wow!

Protests have already started outside the courthouse where Penny was acquitted and it's starting to get ugly. On the bright side, it sure was nice to see all those employers out there letting their employees have the day off to go protest. I can barely get a sick day.

But seriously, if I'm Penny, I'm packing my crap as fast as I can and getting the hell out of NY and never looking back.
