The point I'm trying to make is it could have been nearly anybody who found and accidentally discharged the weapon. Somebody's kid, a tourist, a homeless person, your mom, etc. Sanctuary city, or not, has little bearing on it save to act as political fodder.

http://www.statesman.com/news/man-ac...d1gg1pfe8WsWP/ Hardly the stumbling novice lawyer stereotype so often seen in movies and TV shows; wonder how many big name law firms are lining up to offer this guy a high-paying job... Neal, take note: Gonzalez is a Texan... <O> |
In accordance with this thread I'm considering placing a booby trap in front of my gun safe. I'd rather be blamed for the death of a criminal than an innocent bystander.
A SIG that accidentally discharges? lmao Too bad he didn't hit a seal, i'm pretty sure those wacky Californians place a higher value on a seal's life than a taxpayers. :03: http://granitegrok.com/wp-content/up...3161_large.jpg |
Were they able to determine, through forensic evidence, whether the bullet ricocheted or a straight line shot?
I know that the defense was claiming it was a ricochet and the prosecution was claiming it was a straight line shot |
^ yes! That's what settled the matter for me. You cannot have intent by ricochet at a distance of 90 feet with a weapon you have never handled.... that is factory calibrated for approx. 25 yards.....Manslaughter and wrongful discharge of the weapon- maybe- but not 1st degree murder. http://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Kate-Steinle-murder-trial-How-the-12399543.php

It will be interesting to compare the reactions of this case to the other case where the "hunter" mistook a woman walking as a deer and shot at her at dusk at a distance of about 200 yards

While the woman probably should have realized hiking near dusk in an area that hunting occurs, is probably a bad idea, I can't lay any blame on her. The hunter should have been hunting during legal hours, identified his target, and anything behind. |

BTW, the link you supplied may be more than a bit biased: Charisma News is an evangelical christian-right web-zine and is very slanted against CA, a place they view as the epitome of sin; exaggeration and self-serving hyperbole to back up their 'truths' is not unknown to them... <O> |

It's up in the kitchen, down in the hall I'll be lonely Willy's the father of his sister's child Down by the greenwood side Took her down to the merry green wood I'll be lonely And there he shot his sister dead Down by the greenwood side He went back to his mother's home Welcome to me my son my son Son oh son, why are you so pale Been down by the greenwood hunting quail Ain't no quail a way down there Been down there shooting the white tailed deer Ain't no pistol kills a deer Willy where's your sister fair? Mother oh mother, make my bed For I have shot my sister dead Son oh son, where will you go? Your father will kill you when he comes to know He'll bury you under yon hill If he doesn't kill you, I surely will |

But Still I agree, the guy was totally in the wrong. Rule zero is be sure of your target, Rule 1 know your background. |
