You guys have some weird laws in the USA...this one is absolutely ludicrous...one may ask why the law only existsTexan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 1:41 pmNot in Texas or Oklahoma. The 3 deaths are a result of the commission of a felony by all 4 people. She is the only one left alive to try. She willingly participated in the crime that caused the deaths. She confessed to willingly participating. It will be a slam dunk case and the only thing to decide is the punishment.billy the kid wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 1:35 pmTexan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 1:26 pmI'm not sure exactly what you are saying, but since she is an accomplice in the commission of a felony, she is responsible for the deaths of the others. If only 1 had been killed, the other 3 would have been tried for his death. I forget the name of the law.billy the kid wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 1:22 pmTexan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 1:07 pm
A BUG is a Back Up Gun. She carries 2. I married a very sexy and lethal woman.
We can shoot anybody to stop the commission of armed robbery, rape, arson, kidnapping, aggravated assault, or murder. We also have the right to use deadly force on anybody who forcibly enters an occupied dwelling or vehicle. Laws vary from state to state, but that's the law in Texas. I can't shoot someone who grabs my TP and runs(and I wouldn't want to kill somebody over that anyway), but if they produce a weapon then they are threatening my life and I can defend myself with deadly force. I don't want to hurt anybody, but I love that it's a deterrent.
Here is something that will really blow your mind. If 2 armed thugs try to rob me and I shoot and kill one. The other robber will be tried for the murder of the first robber. That happened in Oklahoma a couple of years ago. 3 teens with knives and brass knuckles broke into the wrong house to rob them. The adult son of the homeowner killed all 3 with an AR-15. The girl who was driving the getaway vehicle is being tried for 3 murders and is facing the death penalty.
How do they prove the girl had mens rea for the "murder" of her accomplices by someone else.....
The victim wasn't charged for using deadly force in self defense of his home.
The prosecution would have to prove that she had mens rea for the murder of the accomplices...(ie the mental element of a person's intention to commit a crime....the accomplice has no mental intent to murder her own accomplices....)
If an innocent bystander was killed during the breakin...yes...charge her....but her accomplices are all dead...)
Ill go out on a limb and say that this dog wont chase...she'll get off...….
in two states...maybe because it totally throws out the need to prove mens rea.....The law virtually says that
she is guilty of the murder of her three accomplices...
What if the three accomplices were shot at by the home owner, but escaped...is she now guilty of attempted
murder....the mind boggles....ludicrous...but what else would you expect in the USA....
You say she confessed to willingly participating...in the breakin...or the murder....why would she confess
to willingly participating in a murder...its not even murder...its an act of self defence by the home owner...
How can the same act of killing by the homeowner in self defence be changed to murder by another person...
Ita gets more ludicrous by the minute......
