Nice try Dan, but too late....

Mr. Martin likely had a similar choice that ended abruptly with his final words of, "Oh, Schit!"

Much to the offense of goats everywhere....

Lets just start with legalizing weed and go from there.

Ha ! This is logic to you ?
Give me a break !

Did you miss the part where it said PRESCRIPTION drugs? Can you get PRESCRIPTION drugs when you want and where you want?

Try again.

Well, I'm no expert, but I assume about everything is available on the street at some price.....?

I guess no one would steal gas, sunglasses, nor stereos out of cars if they could be "made available legally" either ?

Oh, now I get it !

No body will steal anything if everything is FREE !

How many people are killing each other over a can of gas?

Oregonian likes to pretend the exception is the rule.

Yes, it must be Oregonian's fault.

He is one of those "pull your own weight if able" guys.

I'm surprized the drug manufacturers aren't being blamed for these addict's behavior.

I'm sure you're the only one around here who pulls his own weight.

Get over yourself.

Oreo's been absent for a while...

Clearly he wasn't at any sort of continuing education program.

Fish on...

honestly, i'm quite glad that this young mother won't see a cell of any kind in this. this constitutes eating another heap of crow (actually not bad if marinated first). i just get tired of people defending thier property from dirtbags and being prosecuted for doing so. I was wrong in thinking that she would be found liable for the dirtbag's death. i'm willing to fess up to a wrong thought or idea on the darkside. you live on it you die on it all the same.

my post on this has nothing to do with DanS and his typical angle he takes. i would have stated the above anyways.

finally i hope the baby grows up to always know that his mother went dirty harry on a punk when he was a rugbug.

By 'typical angle', you mean being right.............right?

Beautiful!

No question about the justifification on this one. There is one part of this story that is pretty unique however. The prosecutor is charging the dead guy's partner with 1st degree murder. They are doing this under the "commission of another felony during a crime". Seems like a stretch to me. The partner did not enter the house, the shooting of the perp is justifiable (not a felony), this seems like a Prosecutor's office gone amok. Thoughts?

Call it a yen for media coverage. Hey look at us.

Under Oklahoma state law murder charges can be brought against accomplices in cases where someone is killed during some criminal activities.

I believe that is only when the perp is the murder not the shot in the act of a break-in fish4. If it is legal to shot them then there would be no murder charges. I may be wrong but seems a bit of a stretch.

That type of thing could lead to pretty wide murder charges for people that had no intent to do anything or even had an idea any serious crime was happening. Just another one of those things such as charging 9-13 year olds with murder in adult courts that scares me with our justice system.

Under those types of laws it's based on a type of "conspiracy"...if someone dies during the commission of the crime by the group, then everyone in the group is liable...even if it's one of the group that buys the farm.

It's easier to see how this would work if there was an innocent victim of the conspiracy, but they've upheld convictions when co-conspirators die, too...it's a little on the flimsy side, I agree, but it'll probably stick.

Fish on...
