At the 1:22 mark on the video...Colin Noir is a lawyer...
He doesn't sound very optimistic about it.
I expect him to be in violation of this law.
Could be, and they may hang him on that since they are likely going to fail on the murder charges.
Seems pretty clear to me that he was in violation of that law. Not much wiggle room there. "
Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor."
They're going to try to get him on the pre-meditated thing, which I believe is likely true, but will be extremely difficult for the prosecutors to actually prove. Personally, I don't see the murder charges sticking.
I don't see how they get Pre-meditated since in each case he was the one being attacked by the mob.....the reporter was an eye witness to the first provocation, and we have video of the mob attacking him while he was on the ground.
Well he went out of his way to defend a car dealership that he had no connection with. And it can at least be debated how much of a threat the first guy was. Initial claims were that he threw a Molotov cocktail, but I don't think that was the case.
I would argue that he was looking for a fight. He wanted an excuse to use deadly force in self-defense. Kind of like the Florida shooter at the convenient store.
But, even though I believe that may very well be true, I don't think it can be proven. So I think they'll try that, but I don't expect it to stick.
