Self-defense fails if the defendant alleging such was the aggressor or was committing a crime at the time of the assault. Now, D could make the argument that there was an escalation of force necessitating the use of deadly force (a car is a deadly weapon and his ATV was not when the victim was inside of a vehicle), but again, if they are the aggressor or committing a crime, that is a very large hurdle to overcome.Bassmaster said:Doesn't matter. Shooting a gun into an occupied car is a felony. Someone died in the commission of that felony. That's felony murder.CDUB98 said:
Likely couldn't prove murder on technicality. Did he die from the car accident or the gunshot wound?
Now, all of us logically thinking people see no real distinction because if he had not been shot he would not have had a car crash, nor does anyone pull out a gun and shoot someone without the intent to kill them.
And, of course, there was the self-defense argument that was likely all a lie.
Homie likely will be back out on the street in no time doing his thing.

IIRC from one article I read, the defense was saying the driver hit the ATV unprovoked, thus self-defense.
But, like I said, I'm 99.9% sure it was all a lie.

Two suspects are in custody after authorities in League City say they allegedly followed a woman for 17 miles after taking cash out from a bank. https://t.co/f6uayYzTIs

Detectives with League City Police Department said they were contacted by a detective with Friendswood Police Department about a suspicious white Jeep with "extremely dark tinted" windows parked in the parking lot of a Chase Bank located on FM 646.
At 2:40 p.m. Monday, investigators said a woman exited the bank reportedly holding cash in her hand. As detectives noticed she walked toward her vehicle and drove off, the Jeep appeared to follow her.
The Jeep continued to pursue the woman on I-45 south for 17 miles, and that was when detectives called for backup to stop the suspect's vehicle for fear that they would attempt to rob her.

It wasn't that long ago that some hoodrats followed a guy from league city home from dinner downtown and robbed and murdered him. Can't recall if it was a double murder or not.

Didn't they steal a high end car from him?
Gold Presidential Rolex if I recall. He lived in Bal Harbor over near Nassau Bay. They followed him all the way from The Capitol Grille on Westheimer

OUT ON BOND!!
I'm shocked.
No way she is guilty. With a name like "Sky Blossom", she's clearly a peaceful Indian princess.
Major kudos to the police for responding and preventing a crime from occurring!DustysLineup said:Two suspects are in custody after authorities in League City say they allegedly followed a woman for 17 miles after taking cash out from a bank. https://t.co/f6uayYzTIs

Good thing they got picked up in Galveston county, $200k bond each.
Female and Asian murderer? What a massive improvement in the ESG/DEI scores for murderers in Houston. Finally seeing some really equity improvements in that space.
Mistrial. Thought PR Bonds were bad, wait until these murderers are all acquitted outright. "Equity"
Mistrial declared in sentencing phase of trial for man who shot and killed Houston father of two Lazarius Harper was convicted of manslaughter in the 2021 shooting of Kevin Kirk. The victim was killed after ATVs surrounded his car on Westheimer.

Never seen a case where a Judge excuses a juror who stated she was done deliberating the sentence and now we have to wait for the alternate juror to arrive to resume deliberations
Two hours later a mistrial declared
Bizarre to say the least
How tf is this even possible? He was found guilty and then a mistrial during sentencing? What the hell?
The Wonderer! We need a lawyer.
This is wierd. who/how ff'd up badly enough for this?

What in the ever living ****?!!
Setting aside that he should have been convicted of murder in the first place, how can a mistrial be declared AFTER conviction?!!
We're well beyond the time for this.

I was on a jury that came extremely close to a mistrial during sentencing because - amazingly - there was some misunderstanding of what unanimous meant when the judge polled the jury. The guilt/innocence verdict was very easy and quick, but on sentencing jury ranged from straight probation to maximum jail time. It was about 12 hours of deliberations before the last person agreed to the sentence.
If I'm ever on a jury again, after we reach a verdict I'm going to say to everyone "Look, the judge is going to ask if this is our unanimous verdict. Let's do a practice run. Juror #1? Juror #2?"
HOA pools under siege!
At 11:45AM on Friday a drunk dude ran through a parking lot and crashed his car through a fence and into our community pool. He apparently was able to get himself out of the car but was too drunk to get out of the pool without assistance!
