Looks like the DA's office thinks it was murder
Atlanta Police officer who killed Rayshard Brooks charged with felony murder
Quote:The Atlanta Police officer who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks at a Wendy's parking lot last week was charged with felony murder and other charges, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced Wednesday. The other police officer on scene also faces three charges, including aggravated assault, Howard said.Quote:The decision comes just five days after Brooks was shot twice in the back in Atlanta during an attempted arrest. Officer Garrett Rolfe, who fired the fatal shots, has already been fired, and officer Devin Brosnan, who was also on scene, has been put on administrative duty. After shooting Brooks, Rolfe said "I got him" and kicked Brooks, and Brosnan then stood on Brooks' shoulder, Howard said. The officers did not provide medical aid to Brooks for over two minutes after shooting him, Howard said.
Their demeanor after the shooting "did not reflect any fear or danger of Mr. Brooks, but reflected other kinds of emotions," Howard said.
You don't seem to know how lawyers work do you?
The odds are pretty slim of the DA going ahead to trial for murder - as any decent defense lawyer could beat even murder 2.
I'll bet the DA doesn't want to try this case at all - because it's a dead fish of a case. Win and you piss off the cops - who you have to work with every day -- lose and you piss off the public and riots ensue - and you are the dumb fuck who botched the case....
Lean on the defendant with murder - and 25 years time - let them plead out to man 1 -and 10 years - and you get out of it without looking like a schlub.....
