October 1, 201610 yr Author It's a real thing. I believe it's a real thing. How does it impact this case?
October 2, 201610 yr Author Read the article I did. Said the other shot caused her to temporarily lose her hearing. What am I missing as far as good vs bad shooting?
October 2, 201610 yr I did. Said the other shot caused her to temporarily lose her hearing. What am I missing as far as good vs bad shooting? Read it again, that's not all it says. And I never said it was a good shooting
October 2, 201610 yr Author Read it again, that's not all it says. And I never said it was a good shooting I have tead it multiple times. Everything deals with the shooting and after the shooting. Doesn't appear to have any legitimate bearing on the decision she made. Relax. I know where you stand. Not an attack. Seems like he's trying to muddy it up for jurors.

I know where you stand. Not an attack. Seems like he's trying to muddy it up for jurors. You said she didn't hear her shot, the attorney says she didn't hear the officers arrive. I guess his defense could be, "she's a smaller female and he's a large man hopped up on PCP so she was in more fear cause she thought she was alone". That'd be my guess. I'm perfectly relaxed and enjoying my lunch and watching UL/Clemson

I'm perfectly relaxed and enjoying my lunch and watching UL/Clemson Let's assume she tries the " I was scared" bit. Just me or does that seem like a poor reason to excuse a shooting? I believe she was scared. Hell, I might have been scared. I still have to make a proper decision. Now, I'm on record saying it's going to be hard to get a conviction in Tulsa so maybe this helps.

October 12, 20169 yr I assume you meant wasn't. And you're correct he wasn't. Correct. Whether he had PCP in his system doesn't absolve the shooter from wrong doing, they had absolutely no way of knowing that at the time, and speculating isn't good enough.
October 14, 20169 yr Correct. Whether he had PCP in his system doesn't absolve the shooter from wrong doing, they had absolutely no way of knowing that at the time, and speculating isn't good enough. I think she was a drug recognition expert. Her opinion is better than speculation. I do see your point. Him being on PCP isn't justification alone to shoot him.
April 3, 20179 yr Author The officer who fired the shot was on "60 Minutes" tonight. The key to her argument looks like it will be that she felt his left hand was reaching through the window which caused her to fear he was going to reach for a gun. While it's been a while since we discussed this I'm pretty sure there was an enhanced picture that showed the window up with Crutcher's blood sprayed on it. If my memory is correct then that's going to be a tough sell.
