    He treated his gun like a toy and his daughter paid for his childish attitude with her life.

    That’s not manslaughter?

        And we aren’t allowed to question if the grand jury made a mistake? If so everything else being discussed is pointless.

        Do you think the situation you are describing sounds like it might be manslaughter? Enough that it is worth while to have a trial and find out?

          You can do whatever you want. Speculate, guesstimate, do spirit fingers until you commune with the deceased.

          I’m not an attorney or a judge, so I’m not equipped to make this decision. Off the cuff, it feels like involuntary manslaughter. You’d have to ask the GJ why they decided otherwise.

          But the social media posts and associated click-bait articles are describing it as capital murder. Nothing in the actual details of the case supports this.

            God forbid anyone disagree with a judicial ruling! Oh wait, that’s our right as citizens of this country… This guy sounds like someone that would say “you should have just compiled”.

            Your only defense is saying “The GJ decided not to.”

            Yes, we know. That is what people are complaining about.

            Your posts literally read as “you can’t complain that the GJ decided not to move forward because the GJ decided not to move forward.”
