August 4, 201511 yr Much like Deters will drag Tensing thru the mud, you can bet the defense will bring up all the wonderful details of Mr. Dubose's past as well. It will be an ugly trial to be on. Won't be a quick one for sure. Will that information be allowed? Not sure why it would be as Tensing never knew his identity before murdering him.
August 4, 201511 yr Author Will that information be allowed? Not sure why it would be as Tensing never knew his identity before murdering him. Valid point. Not sure how that will work.
August 4, 201511 yr Unless the jury has been living under a rock, they'll probably hear almost of this before the trial even begins. At the same time, I don't know how The defense would get his record or promiscuity or potential for drugs into the open since none of it had any bearing on whether Tensing feared for his life as any of that potential information was unknown since the officer didn't even know who he was.
August 4, 201511 yr Let's say that Dubose had 60 tickets, 28 children by 32 different women, 14 pounds of cocaine in his trunk, had NWA F the Police blaring, called the officer a cracker, and had a Black Panther bumper sticker. Any of that material to the charge against Officer Tensing? That'd be impressive.
August 4, 201511 yr If 2 pounds was found in the car it would have been out there in the media by now. Local Fox News(channel 19) led off one of their 10 o clock broadcasts with it a few days after the shooting. It never was mentioned on here that I could find, haven't been on this thread for awhile though. Maybe it is/was on their website. Edited August 4, 201511 yr by All In

August 4, 201511 yr Is it relevant? Just goes to motive as to why DuBose put car in drive to drive away...not much else.
August 4, 201511 yr Just goes to motive as to why DuBose put car in drive to drive away...not much else. Agreed and agreed.
August 4, 201511 yr IF you're the defense attorney (and I hear he is really good) isn't your ultimate goal to minimize how many years Officer Tensing goes to prison? That murder charge may prove difficult for Mr Deters as juries are hesitant to go that far with an officer of the law. However, I just can't see any way they see that video and completely let him walk free. As I've said, it will be a fascinating trial.

August 4, 201511 yr You think it will actually go to trial? I don't. I do. What do you think will happen?
August 4, 201511 yr You think it will actually go to trial? I don't. Why not? I don't see Deters pleading Tensing out. Not after his press conference.
