Another Mistrial In Tensing Case
What happens now?
"The right to keep and bear arms is rooted in both self-defense and insurance against government’s propensity toward tyranny. The right pre-existed the Constitution. Thus, the Second Amendment is not its source. The right to keep and bear arms is natural and inalienable; the Second Amendment protects it, and Congress has no legitimate power to restrict it." - Senator John Cornyn (R., Tex.), as reported in the National Review on July 4, 2016

Re: Another Mistrial In Tensing Case
What happens now is the prosecutor will either go for a third try at it or give it up. Any info out there on how much money has been spent so far with the first two attempts?

Re: Another Mistrial In Tensing Case
The only way a third trial makes sense would be on lesser charges such as negligent or reckless homicide. The prosecution did ask for a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter to be added as a possibility, pretty late in the second trial. Judge denied the motion.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

But that's not what the family of Dubous is demanding. By demanding, I mean a family member was allegedly quoted today as "We demand Ray Tensing be retried for murder." A decision on that is expected next week.Brian D. wrote:The only way a third trial makes sense would be on lesser charges such as negligent or reckless homicide.

That's true if justice is really the aim of the prosecutor. One possibility that has been raised by some is the 2001 riots cost the city an estimated 3.6 million. That would probably be small change compared to a riot in 2017, depending on what sections of the city are affected.

And let's not assume that juries are A) unpatriotic, B) stupid, C) dishonest D) susceptible to coercion. In Fitch's world there would be no such thing as a hung jury.bignflnut wrote:Lets not assume that the juries are A) patriotic B) Intelligent C) Honest D) Immune from coersionFitch: You think your average juror is King Solomon?

What I see is a prosecutor who has,so far, been unable to convince 2 juries that the officer is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. According to a member of the latest jury, their vote was an almost an even split, and the first jury was split 4 for murder, 4 for voluntary manslaughter and 4 for acquittal.
Not having heard all of the evidence presented during the 6 day first trial or the 8 day retrial myself, I will defer to the roofers sitting in their Barcaloungers who did hear it rather than disparage them and their decisions.
Ignorant or Stupid, I'm not sure which is worse. If someone were stupid, at least they'd have an excuse for all the dumb things they say.

Re: Another Mistrial In Tensing Case
Timing of the mistrial was good: It was raining at almost monsoon level when the jury came back in the courtroom that final time. Any protesters milling around outside would have been weighed down with their scuba tanks.

While that's true, if the decision to retry or not is really next friday, the forecast so far is sunny and 87.Brian D. wrote:Timing of the mistrial was good: It was raining at almost monsoon level when the jury came back in the courtroom that final time.

On a different matter, a BLM rep said something about how BLM wants a peaceful and militaristic protest. Someone asked me "Does that mean we really want riots but don't want to be charged for inciting?"
