He crossed state lines alright but didn't bring the gun with him-the gun was already in WI
He lives 20 minutes away from Kenosha in a town that abuts the border-the fact he crossed into another state is completely irrelevant.
That's like pointing out someone went from Celbridge to Lucan-people do it all the time and probably some do it several times a day
That being said, he should get 20/30 years in jail IMHO. He had no business being there
The problem is that the prosecutor overcharged him and in the process turned it into a self defense case. I just can't see how they can reach an unanimous verdict in this
Well crossing the state line with a weapon is obviously irrelevant then if he didn't in fact bring the weapon across state lines.
Like I said, I haven't been paying too much attention.
But my anger would be more towards the parents and adults in his life, letting a stupid kid get into that situation with a weapon like that.
Can't comment much beyond that - it wouldn't surprise me in the least if what he did was legal given US gun laws. If the prosecutor screwed up by overcharging, then obviously Kenosha needs to look at its DA office.
It's completely ar$e backwards
He wasn't even breaking the law by being in possession of the gun. That got thrown out yesterday due to the length of the barrel
Mother should face jail time - bringing him to a bar to drink beer and hang out with a group of "Proud Boys" while flashing white supremacy signs is just a further example of her bad judgement
The bold is a perfect example of parents today, they want to be pals with their kids and not a parent.
Also reminds me of a sign I saw many years ago.....Stupid people shouldn't Breed.
I have been watching the majority of this trial as I'm home due to Covid and the prosecutor did screw this up but the lesser felony charges should have convictions.
If this kid wasn't there no one would have died.
