why is this not being charged? amir locke was not the subject of the raid and it was for his cousin and he was not there, and he was sleeping and he owned the gun legally, and people say if you just burst into my house, people have a right to defend themselves? all of the factors you just listed are why this whole situation and the decision today is completely devastating for many people in the community, because the joint report that was issued listed all of those things, that they think amir locke was sleeping and he thought somebody was breaking in and he was trying to defend himself, and ironically had locke lived and fired shots at the police he would have had probably a successful self defense charge.
it s a good day, like the day that derek chauvin was convicted. and that kyle rittenhouse was let alfano self-defense charge. i hope it sets a precedent of not having these riots and things. it s really what you wake up thinking. obviously you want someone to go to jail if they ve murdered someone but you also fear for your city or your country, wherever you are. the people would go to the streets and it would turn into the summer of 2020 again and hopefully when things have gone through the legal system and it does work, the jury system does work, we can all just sit there and take in what we heard during the case and the verdict and be calm about it. dagen: if you have the misfortune of living in a large liberal city, you have to sit back and see people set your city on fire and destroyed businesses and never get charged with those crimes. you re from georgia. how do you feel about this. maybe not even feeling. joe: those cases had an element that s kind of new to the world, vide
1999. but zero criminal charges have been filed against any police officer involved in a shooting since 1989. where is this going? will there be an investigation? this seems and i m not anti-police. i m certain you aren t. it seems unreal that with almost 600 shootings none of them did anything wrong? no charges. the gentleman you saw, don horn, prosecuted a police officer in 1989, got a conviction and the florida supreme court said you can t introduce into evidence that the officer violated policy. if the officer claimed self-defense charge him as if he s anybody else on the street claiming self-defense. you can t say, well, i shot somebody in the back or use it as evidence he committed a crime. since 1989 don horn, our state
no weapons found at the scene. the jury will have a big problem with the self defense that this man is arguing as to get him off this case. he has a big problem. now, we have a copy of a letter that michael dunn, the accused, wrote to his girlfriend from prison in june saying, quote, i just got off the phone with you and we were talking about how racist the blacks are up here talking about in prison. the more time i m exposed to these people the more prejudice against them i become. this is one of several letters awritten that the defense is trying to keep out of the trial, letters in which he frequently refers to the teens he shot as thugs. isn t this relevant for trial? it is absolutely relevant. i think those words may very well come back to haunt him. in order to get a self defense charge to the jury i believe he will have to take the witness stand and tell his version of
right not to testify. he exercised it. go ahead. sheer what they said. the prosecutor said today they knew john good was going to testify. and they believed because you have to be able to put forth evidence that will give you a self-defense charge, the defense would want a self-defense charge. how would they get that if george zimmerman doesn t take the witness stand? in most self-defense cases, the defendant has to testify. here because of john good, we knew they would get the self-defense charge because of john good so we went ahead and put out the statements. the jury wasn t convinced by his inconsistencies. he would have made a terrible witness on the witness stand. look what he said in the hannity interview. you re going up against experienced prosecutors in cross-examining. so i think the lies and the inconsisteskinconsistencies tha would have been brought out much better. if there is a civil suit, he would are to testify? most likely. the state attorney, angela corey,
