[quote=Kill Bones] He wasn't convicted of murder because the prosecution was retarded and tried to get him convicted of FIRST DEGREE murder. Which, y'know. Requires premeditation. Now, that's not to say a legitimate claim like second degree murder would've worked. Because it's florida and poorly designed defense laws.But he legally couldn't be convicted of the first degree charge regardless. Because that'd simply be incorrect [/quote] Agreed, but I have a feeling if the defendant were of a different race. They wouldn't have nearly as much trouble
