Reply to comment by daymanahhhahhhhhh in Officer acquitted in off-duty shooting gets $123K in back pay by EmilyXoXo26
When I listened to a trial of a retired officer in Florida that shot a man in the movie theater and was acquitted with "stand your ground" laws, the officer/defendant took the stand and he spoke with an authority of a police officer on duty. I feel like he duped the jurors into thinking he was some kind of expert because he kept using cop lingo and they got lulled into some kind of "well he must know more about this stuff than I do" instead of looking at all the evidence. I think that's probably what happened here. But we also need to start jailing these psychopaths in blue that have a badge as a shield.
