That's why the prosecution failed to get any convictions in the Anthony case. They were so hard up for Murder 1 that they didnt give the jury a chance to look at lesser charges.

But in this case, I don't think it mattered. Manslaughter is thrown out if it's deemed self defense and obviously the jury bought that reasoning.
Carp doesn't want to read that.

I'll sum it up for you: You are wrong, I am right. Stop talking about manslaughter like you have a clue what it means. Kthxbye.
I did not even bring manslaughter up...fiction is cool though.

Well you said

I just can't see how he is not guilty of anything...I guess the prosecutors just must have been all in on a murder charge.

And since the jury was instructed that they could return a guilty conviction of either Murder 2 or Manslaughter, I was assuming you meant that.

What would you have liked him to be guilty of? Something he wasn't charged with?

And you are a small person who insults and mocks anyone who disagrees with you like you are better than they are. You have no room for ever listening to anything that might be more complicated than a joke about the latest shit you took.

You don't understand how he could not be guilty of anything? I just explained it to you. And since I know more than you about this, if you had any interest in knowing why he couldn't be convicted of anything, you'd listen up.

Then you insulted me.

Go F yourself.

PS, you are wrong.

I don't know what he would be guilty of...that is why I was asking what he could possibly be charged with.

Well since post #209 I don't see you asking what he could have possibly been charged with.

But what was he charged with? Murder. And then a last minute jury instruction that they could also find him guilty of manslaughter even though he was not charged with it.

The manslaughter charge makes no sense as I already rightly explained.

The murder charge is beaten by a successful showing of self-defense, which he clearly established (actually, the manslaughter charge is too).

What else could he have been charged with that he wasn't charged with? I dunno. If it was PA, I'd say something like Harassment? It carries a fine or probation, maybe, for a first time offender. I could buy that.

Dude I came on here to discuss the aftermath....I had no ax to grind nor did instomp my feet about the verdict. Then you roll in and actn like the pompous douche that you are. The discussion I was having had nothing at all to do with you or anything that you said, but you answer it like every postn s somehow meant for you. You are not that damned important.

I am not one to defend anyone, let alone Carp, on this board, but you are the worst about what you just accused Carp of.

You go F yourself.

I don't mock people like Carp does, I just argue incessantly. In any case it just means that he is not any better than me.

You go F yourself.

In fact, we should all go F ourselves.

Ok.

And did I rub it in your face or anything? Did I call you names in my initial post?

It was an explanation of how he should have been found not guilty of both murder and manslaughter.

Yet you are insulted by that and then start mocking.

Then you roll in and actn like the pompous douche that you are.

I had an answer to your question, I'm allowed to share it. This is a hotly debated subject so I get excited about it. I wasn't trying to put you down personally... somehow, you always manage to turn it around on everyone else though.

It's not just that you argue incessantly. It's how you you argue. You act like you are smarter than the person you're arguing with and you make it a point. You come across as a huge douchebag.

It had nothing to do with you. We were actually having a good discussion, but threads go off the rails when you need attention.

Since when does a conversation about a current event have anything to do with anyone?

I'm allowed to post my thoughts without an invitation.

We were actually having a good discussion, but threads go off the rails when you need attention.
And we could have continued to have a good discussion. My reply was completely on topic and addressed your question directly. How was my response off the rails?

YOU started mocking me and moved this thread off the rails.

Well in this case I do have a little bit of knowledge about the subject. How would you have liked me to say that there is no legitimate case to be made for manslaughter?

Bottom line is they had no chance of getting murder 2 according to what is needed to convict. You have wonder if they had just started out at manslaughter if they would have gotten a plea agreement instead ofnthe trial going to a verdict.
