"A witness told police he saw her tied up and Duffie dousing her in lighter fluid, but he inexplicably walked away without trying to stop the crazed man, prosecutors said."
So same as the police would do. Why should an innocent bystander risk their safety when the police don't have to?

Classic example of escalation.

what kind of mental gymnastics is this?? “Cops are bastards so do as the bastards do??” Wtf is wrong with you? I hope if you’re ever in need of help someone stops and helps you whether that means they could get hurt in the process. It’s called being a decent human being and this city is in desperate need of a few.

This both gruesome and remarkable.
He had more regard about not committing shoplifting than committing robbery and murder.
>After the robbery, he made his way to a nearby bodega, where he was caught on camera purchasing twine, lighter fluid and a lighter, they added.

I'm responding to the prosecutor's comments. They shouldn't be describing this as "inexplicable" when they know damn well that even the police are under no obligation to assist someone in distress.

It is inexplicable. Whether it’s by the cops OR a bystander. There’s no changing my mind

He has a kid and has a prior relationship with the victim. Does that word have any meaning anymore?
SuperTeamRyan t1_j5zxc8c wrote
Let me explain the inexplicable, the bystander didn’t want to put himself in harms way for someone they didn’t know which is reasonable.
While I’d like to believe I’d be the guy to go in and be a hero in real life from behind my keyboard, I know in real life my actions might be more selfish.

Under the common law, there is no general duty to rescue. We have no legal duty to risk ourselves to save others.

I'm not trying to change your mind. But you might want to consider being a little more decent to those who disagree with you instead of resorting to personal attacks ("WTF is wrong with you?"). A little friendly free advice. Cheers.

Although I agree, the solution to that isn’t to burn someone alive….bad take

I never agreed the consequence should be burnt to death.
I am just saying people should understand something can be really important to another person. you should not judge based on your opinion of how important it is.

Except it has a recent and common meaning of an “involuntary celibate”. In other words, a sexual(as opposed to asexual) individual who has deemed themselves celibate, not by choice, but due to an inability to obtain sexual partners. It further connotes a general attitude that this is the fault of society/the opposite sex or desired partners and nothing to do with the incel’s inability to adapt their habits/appearance/behavior to be more appealing.

“Duffie’s defense attorney told the court he lives in a shelter and has a child.”
Great. Possibly another child growing up in the foster care system as no sane judge will allow this man to have custody. Let’s hope relatives are around and willing to take the kid in, what a shame. This man is worst than scum of the earth

Right. The guy who saw a maniac committing a murder, got terrified, and left is just as guilty of murder as the actual murderer.

I can’t blame them for not wanting to intervene though, I’d like to think I would, but who can say unless you’re in the situation.

Except that isn't how the Good Samaritan law works. The law protects people who a good faith effort to save someone from a drug overdose or other life threatening injuries from criminal or civil liability. Good Samaritan laws are not failure to report laws which apply only to professionals with a legal obligation to report suspected crimes.

Yup, it's not like it's easy in this city to get a pistol permit. Much easier to insert yourself into a situation or get involved when you have a pistol to back you up.

Last week I read a news story about a 17 year old kid in coney Island who was stabbed to death by a random group of teens when he tried to stop them from attacking a girl on the street. A few days after that it made the news that a fox news anchor was beaten unconscious on the train when he tried to stop a group of people from harassing an old man. I get it, but when you stand up for someone no ones going to stand up for you.

I was thinking that maybe he has joint custody with the victim here. But rereading this has me realizing that the child is probably with another woman who is not involved in this case. You can still have joint custody of your kid if you’re in prison. But it makes me feel a bit better this man is prob going away for life and the other woman is safe.

You can have custody of your own children if you live in shelters. A permanent address is not a requirement.
devolka t1_j64db61 wrote
Correct. There are family shelters. I took this from my read of the sentence. "Has one child." I could be wrong but I feel like if he lived in the family shelter system with his child the sentence "Duffie’s defense attorney told the court he lives in a shelter and has a child." Doesn't to the job.
I admit. I don't know. But this doesn't feel like he had custody. I feel like at the very least thst would have come up
