Keep it Classy, Indy

[Ark]

Seemed like a good time to dust off this thread.

Nothings says please keep the noise down like shooting into a crowd.

INDIANAPOLIS — One woman is dead and three others wounded following a shootout between neighbors on Indy’s near northwest side.

Just before 9:30 p.m. Thursday, a Fourth of July celebration led to a dispute between neighbors that erupted into gunfire.

Cell phone video shared by a neighbor clearly shows a man standing at his front door firing the first shot into a crowd of people next door.

Those victims then returned fire, leading to a shootout that left one woman dead.

Is this in the Gaza Strip? This was a full-blown firefight.

Those neighbors shot back, shattering the glass on the suspect’s front door.

The suspect then went inside and allegedly continued to shoot out of a side window as his neighbors returned fire.

Police arrived, did nothing, left, dude immediately started shooting.

I'm sure this group were acting like assholes, buuuut I guess I still approve of shooting back when some dude tries to bushwhack you out his kitchen window.

Love how the activist lays the blame on police "not enforcing" curfew laws, but lays no blame on the parents of these fine yutes

Many, many, many people do not recognize "personal responsibility".

Sure would be a shame if that loser had an overloaded powerstrip that caused a house fire.

But he shouldnt need it anymore because he should be in prison for murder for causing the death of his housemate. IANAL but it sounds like his criminal actions directly contributed to the death of another, so he should be held responsible for her death.

I'm gonna solve my problems by firing a gun.

I'm SURE that won't cause other problems down the road.

When I would teach gun safety and shooting to scouts, I also included a bit of "morality".
Stuff like the above statement.

When is Indy going to buy one of these? I'll gladly operate it for free

Gee whiz news reports of another group of juvenile delinquents from a certain minority ethnic group causing trouble in downtown Indianapolis; say it isn’t so?

From the article:

"Police asked him, 'Xavier, who shot you?' And while he lay in the hospital recovering from his wounds, he said, 'My brother, Raymond Ronald Lee Childs III,'" the prosecutor said.
But the defense told the jury that Childs was not there, that two guns were used and the evidence points to two shooters.
"We believe that the evidence will show that we are here today based on a misidentification and a misguided investigation," defense attorney Courtney Benson-Kooy said."

Saying that the younger brother misidentified his own brother? The defense is full of .

Is there a collaborating alibi?

Is there a collaborating alibi?

Probably his lying (or threatened) girlfriend. They're claiming he was with her at the time of the shooting. I want to know what was said that created the mistrial. That ought to be public information IMO.

 

[dudley0]

Is there a collaborating alibi?

More importantly, are there any family members left who would like a late night chat with him now that he is out?

I don't think he's out of jail. At least I certainly hope not.

He's got one of those faces that you just want to cave in with a brick.

 

[dudley0]

Find that family member that I asked about and then let the little bastard out.

I read the recent article on a local news page and just assumed the verdict was fait accompli. One crime scene, one shooter, his own brother ID'd him, what's left to judge? Now it's a mistrial. Beyond that, I don't really remember the original crime. I would've thought a crime as large/significant/heinous would stick in my memory. That said, a mistrial does require a reason. Surely we'll hear the why.

I agree, we need to hear why. I mean, WTF does this even mean?

"The Marion County Prosecutor's Office confirmed this was declared after something that was said during witness testimony."

So, somebody said something. Are they not supposed to say anything during testimony?

Yes. A witness on the stand looked at Child’s at the defense table and asked “why’d you do it Raymond?” Judge talked to the jury and then had to declare mistrial.

Wow, emotions and all that, could be tough for a jury to disregard. But I thought judges routinely advised jurors to disregard statements. I'm for fair trials. I'm not sure the witness statement(s) rises to a mistrial. I mean, if that's all it takes to derail a trial, I guess I know my defense, should I ever decide to murder my entire family. A mistrial seems outrageous. I wonder if the state will try again??
