No. Just another case of an out of control naked black guy charging the police and getting shot.Is this another example of democrats letting murders out early and endangering the community or is the right going to take a page from the left and claim but but but this different
So you’re ok with murders being released of you don’t like their victims?No. Just another case of an out of control naked black guy charging the police and getting shot.
It is not a good idea, and involves a large element of risk.
“We reverse Olsen’s convictions on aggravated assault and violation of oath by a public officer based upon a violation of the (DeKalb County Police Department’s Use of Force Policy),” the court said in its ruling Tuesday.So you’re ok with murders being released of you don’t like their victims?
White cops gets away with killing a black man, the story is one that’s played out for 100+ years. This case is no different“We reverse Olsen’s convictions on aggravated assault and violation of oath by a public officer based upon a violation of the (DeKalb County Police Department’s Use of Force Policy),” the court said in its ruling Tuesday.
the evidence was legally insufficient with respect to the crime of violation of oath by a public officer based upon a violation of the UFP.”
If they come up with more evidence, they are free to retrial the case, if they choose.
I am sure the deceased was a very nice guy, before going off his meds.
Was the cop white? I was not aware. If white cop is involved, should evidence be required or should legal challenges and courts of appeals be tossed out the window, if it is a black guy that confronts the police, and basically just do away with the due process crap?White cops gets away with killing a black man, the story is one that’s played out for 100+ years.

The evidence was presented in order to overturn the conviction the judge is tossing out evidence to get a different verdict. Protect that blue wallWas the cop white? I was not aware.

So, I take it you want to move for retrial. OK.The evidence was presented in order to overturn the conviction the judge is tossing out evidence to get a different verdict. Protect that blue wall
As long as the evidence is not thrown out sure. Throwing out the policy the officer broke is not allowing for a fair trial, it’s helping to cover up a murderSo, I take it you want to move for retrial. OK.
It was used against him at the trial and the jury heard it used against him. The Georgia court of appeals ruled. The basic facts of the shooting exist and have not been thrown out. That is why they overruled and in a way that allows retrial without that testimony relating to his performance within that rule definition, as it was not germane, but was there to effect the thinking of the jurors.As long as the evidence is not thrown out sure. Throwing out the policy the officer broke is not allowing for a fair trial, it’s helping to cover up a murder
thats racistWas the cop white? I was not aware. If white cop is involved, should evidence be required or should legal challenges and courts of appeals be tossed out the window, if it is a black guy that confronts the police, and basically just do away with the due process crap?
No. It is not racist that a cop no matter his race, have the same protections that you have, the same rights to appeal his case as you or a violent convicted person has.thats racist
black police kill blacks too. you forgot those black thug cops who did whip ass on black man killed in in the south. if blacks would follow the law and comply with cops this shit wouldnt happen in the first p-lace.No. It is not racist that a cop no matter his race, have the same protections that you have, the same rights to appeal his case as you or a violent convicted person has.
He was convicted. He appealed on the fact that some rule (not a law) allowed unfavorable evidence, that should not be allowed to be considered, in his conviction and sentencing. If it were you, you would want to have your right to appeal to a higher court heard and ruled on by the higher court of appeal. Convicted felons file appeals in their cases, all the time. It is nothing new. You either believe in our adversarial for of justice with appeal, or you do not.
If it is just your opinion, he should not have the rights of appeal as others, but to his race, that is as racist as if you were a card carrying, supporting member of the BLM, that only cares about criminal complaints, if it involves white police, but is silent and uncaring when it is minority on minority death or assault.
