Reply to comment by Logistocrate in Two Florida men charged with attempted murder after two children shot during road rage incident by DragonWriterDB

I practice criminal defense in a medium sized central Florida county. This is sadly not out of the ordinary nor shocking to me.

I would never feel safe living in a country where you can be justifiably murdered for throwing a water bottle. That’s outrageous.

It is outrageous but I understand why the law is written the way it is in a vacuum; when thrown from a moving vehicle- anything rigid could potentially cause serious injury or death. You get smoked by a full water bottle in the head from a car doing 60 mph? You most likely are going to be severely injured. It when applied to this case it does seem absurd- but that is how the law around “throwing a deadly missile” is written.

Damn dude... yeah, you'd definitely be a SME in that area, if you think odds are they skate, then l'm entirely inclined to accept that.

Stay safe man. And thanks for doing what you do.
