Store owner found not guilty of murder in 2023 killing of Black teen in South Carolina

[Superbadbrutha]

again STUPID he didn't use the firearm in the store he pulled it while running outside.

No dumbass the video doesn't show him pulling it out when he went out the door.

Did you do everything your parents told you to do?

His mammy gave him a gun but no money to get some water at a store. Babydaddy (whoever he is) is probably locked up.

To claim self-defense in South Carolina, you must satisfy all of the following conditions: [1]

1. No Fault: You must not have been at fault in bringing on or escalating the difficulty. [1]
2. Imminent Danger: You must have actually believed you were in imminent danger of losing your life or suffering serious bodily injury. [1]
3. Reasonable Fear: A reasonable and prudent person of ordinary firmness would have also believed they were in imminent danger under the same circumstances. [1]
4. No Other Probable Means: You must not have had any other probable means of avoiding the danger (applicable only if you are not in your home, workplace, or vehicle). [1, 2]
5. Items 2 and 4 define Chow as guilty

Which clearly he did thanks to the NOT GUILTY verdict.

The videos never showed him pointing a gun at anyone. He was shot in the back while running away.

AGAIN, stop being STUPID, he wasnt shot in the store but 130 yards away. He didnt pull the firearm in the store he polled it while running away. There is no video covering that at all. You are an idiot.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

So how did he threaten his son with the gun?

look retard learn what happened before claiming things that didnt happen. He was shot running away at about 130 yards from the store. He pulled the firearm while running and pointed it at the son chasing him.

LOL you prove just how STUPIDLY IGNORANT you are.

Idiot the cops and the prosecutor testified that he NEVER pointed the gun at them and WTF are they chasing him a football field and a half away from the damn store? You stinking ass racist will go out of your way to justify this coward murdering a 15yr old black kid.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Racist POS.

there were no credible witnesses that said that and the police weren't there stupid.

everyone of my statements have been based on the facts unlike yours

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Tell me idiot, why in the hell were they chasing him, they aren't LE? Now the witnesses aren't credible.

• Devontae Bryant: Testified that he drove past the scene and saw the Chows chasing the teen, who was carrying only a backpack. He stated he never saw Carmack-Belton holding or pointing a gun. [1, 2]
• Jasmine Broadwater: Testified that she heard a "pop" before seeing Carmack-Belton fall and seeing Chow holding a gun. [1]
• Lori Ann Carson: A nearby motorist who testified she saw the teen being chased. She stated she did not see a weapon in the teen’s hands and found him "gurgling" for air afterward.

LOL while driving by they saw the whole chase? That's what I mean not credible at all. The scene had the firearm right next to the dead kid and that is a fact.

Yeah, I remember Big Mike's late buddy and "hands up, don't shoot!".

First of all, why isn't any of that on the video surveillance? So, you can chase a black kid 150yds away from your store and shot him in the back and claim they were a threat.

Video or not, he had a gun. The prosecution team acknowledged this. If his gun was concealed, how did the owner know he had a gun. You can argue about the video all you want but I am sure the prosecution side already brought this up. 12 jurors decided that the shooting was justified.

 

[theHawk]

Has it been established that he ACTUALLY has a gun?

Yes, even the prosecution admitted he had a gun.
