So somebody can do it all over again.Maybe the pharmacist was not to far off.Don't pee on the bodies after you kill them either.Who are we protecting here?
Clearly the killed robber's family is who gets what they want. His mamma was on TV crying and whinging hyseterically, he was a good boy, he was my babyyy..... yeah right bitch. Raise your fuggin kid right and he'd be with you today.
I still think Jerome Ersland should be set free too. He was denied testimony that could and should have proved him innocent to a jury. Since the testimony was not allowed he was found guilty. I think we can all admit, clearly in the video you see he walks right by the unconcious robber, so we think he's unconcious, Jerome gets another gun and pumps 5 more rounds into the kid's gut. Jerome claims as he was walking past the kid, he can hear the kid moaning and coming to and seen his hands and feet moving. He said his concern was, that the kid was laying on a gun and could get control of the gun again and still shoot at him or his employees, so he went back to make sure he couldn't do that. Which makes sense. Even if it were a dead body, it could have still be moving from nerve and muscle impulses.
The other defense that was not allowed in court, they wanted to call police officers who have had to use deadly force as professional witnesses as to what your mind is thinking and what the your body's adrenalin level is in such case where your in fear of your life by an armed assailant. If take into account how quick the whole incident took place, and what Jerome was thinking at the time, all while seeing this guy moving and moaning and hearing his petrified employees screaming bloody murder, that in his mind, the threat of bodily harm to himself and his employees was still present and he knew he had end that threat while he still had control of the situation and not let the gunman get control of the situation. He was denied by the judge of letting peace officers in his same situation testify to what is going on in your mind when such incident happens. I honestly believe that testimony would have set him free. Noone is thinking in their right mind in the heat of that kind of moment. All they are thinking is protect themself and dissolve the threat.
If they can let that criminal off on a technicallity that he didn't get his right to defend himself, then Jerome should damn sure be set free that he was denied professional testimony that could have set him free. Alot of people in OK County aren't even happy with the DA since he even brought charges against Jerome and cost him everything he owned in legal fees. I'm in Cleveleand Conty so I don't get to vote that bastard out of office, but you can bet when the time comes, I'll still be in OK County campaining for whoever is running against David Prater and I won't care what party they are affliated with either. Even democrats in OK are Pro Gun and self defense for the most part.
