Faithful readers, I was going to blog about the press conference after the mistrial that a couple of families hosted; however, I’m compelled to blog this instead.
As taken from KCRA news. Oh, by the way lest you complain they are left wing, journalism is journalism in this case.
So, after the “mistrial” or any verdict, the attorneys are allowed to interview the jurors. They can ask anything and get insights as to why the jury may have ruled the way they did. Check out this dude let.
Kingsbury also said some jurors appeared persuaded by the self-defense argument.
“I think that the six jurors who found that he acted in self-defense, I think they used their conscience to arrive at that conclusion,” he said.
Defendant in K Street shooting case says he acted in self-defense after mistrial
Kingsbury is Reid Kingsbury one of the defense attorneys. Ouch it was a 6-6 tie! 12 folks serve on a jury, it wasn’t one who was a hold out. Yikes!
So, the jury did not buy your gang-related argument, quite literally at all. You cannot blame this on the jury being tainted but I’m sure Eixenberger will. Also to be fair, our District Attorney, Thien “I’m a” Ho, was running for Congress as this was going on, I’m glad to see that he has his priorities right!
Oh, he got blown out, by the way, worse than this “explosive diarrhea” going around right now.
I do not know Brad Ng, but I will say this, I watched his closing argument, and my god in heaven, did he miss the mark; potentially allowing 2 “bad hombres” to get back on the street. He vomited all over himself as far as I am concerned.
Megan Eixenberger is a different animal and deserves criticism. She failed badly. She talked down to the jury when explaining the different charges, no shock. Make no mistake folks, 114 bullets were fired, and a self-defense claim gets you off? Come on.
In closing, I do not know if I would re-try this. A 6-6 decision seems like the jury bought the case of self-defense. While I question how, it’s plausible. The idea of several people each firing a gun 15-17 times and claiming self-defense is wild, yet it worked It shouldn’t have. Send Eixenberger back to prosecuting DUI’s; let her use boilerplate language and get plea deals. These cases are for major leaguers not amateurs.
I don’t think I’m being clear enough, 2 really bad dudes may be out on the streets soon. All due to a bad set of prosecutors. Folks wake up!
