November 10, 20169 yr Re: manslaughter defense did a nice job saying the requirements are not there. Said it's murder or not guilty. What are the requirements for manslaughter? From what I found on one website, it had this... In Ohio, the difference between murder and voluntary manslaughter is simple. Both involve purposefully killing someone. However, it is voluntary manslaughter when the killer's thinking was disturbed by emotional excitement to the point that a reasonable person might have acted on impulse without thinking twice. The killing itself must be the result of the emotional excitement. This typically happens when a person is acting in self-defense, but overreacts and kills another person. The person technically acted with the intent to kill, but the self defense was "in the heat of passion" so the court will likely find the person guilty of voluntary manslaughter. The reaction to kill has to happen instantaneously. If the person has had any time to "cool off" before they go perform the killing, it becomes a murder.
November 10, 20169 yr Jody Barr @JodyBarrFox19 1m1 minute ago The county prosecutor victim advocate is back in the courtroom now. Don't know what, if anything, that means. #TensingTrial
November 10, 20169 yr Amanda Kelley (@AmandaWLWT): #TensingTrial @CincinnatiPD are putting barriers up around District 1 headquarters #WLWT
November 10, 20169 yr Jody Barr @JodyBarrFox19 6m6 minutes ago The media & public are not allowed into the courtroom right now. #TensingTrial Jody Barr @JodyBarrFox19 5m5 minutes ago Now, Tensing's def team & pro team are walking into the back door of the courtroom. Not walking past media outside main door as usual.
November 10, 20169 yr Channel 12 out of Cincinnati talking about how the city has come a long way in police relations since the last riots occurred in the city. Also pointed out that Tensing was a UC officer and not Cincinnati PD. That seems optimistic.
November 10, 20169 yr Todd Dykes (@ToddDykesWLWT): Just spoke to Sam DuBose's dad. He says the jury is still deliberating. He and Sam's family are leaving the courthouse. #WLWT
November 10, 20169 yr Yeah my Mom doesn't work exactly downtown but is relatively close by and she many of her co-workers (with the blessing of their boss) are working from home today and tomorrow just in case this gets bad.

Mike Allen, the legal contributor to one of the news station, said he didn't think the prosecutor presented a case for manslaughter. To Clydes point earlier, defense did a good job on the manslaughter. He thinks it either is going to be murder or nothing.
November 11, 20169 yr The jury is under tremendous pressure to convict. They know that if they don't there will likely be riots, and God forbid what might happens to their families if their identities leak out. I feel sorry for them.
