Legal and Activism / Re: Deedy Trial - Injustice?
« on: August 10, 2013, 08:54:48 PM »After reading the excellent transcripts supplied here by Jl808, I am truly astounded no one has remarked at Deedy's total recall of everything. I call BS, and months of careful coaching on just what to say. Out of curiosity, were those security tapes available to the defense team?
This is a guy out getting blasted with his friends, and after butting into something none of his business (and possibly having a chip on his shoulder after his buddy clued him in on the locals' attitude) and has it go south on him. From reading the testimony, Deedy started the incident. From other cases I have read years ago, the self defense killing justification does not extend to because you were losing a fight you started. I still think the badge waving and Federal this, Federal that crap is just that. This clown was out on the town, not on a protective detail.
What next, one of these off duty clowns cuts in front of you, you object, touch him, and he claims justification in wasting you? I get that impression from a few posters here.
Plus it seems his department is distancing themselves from him during his trial by not providing 'expert witnesses for his defense' thus a sign that they did not agree with his actions and or he broke company policy.
Who did the defense call as witnesses??? I only heard of Deedy and the retired HPD Officer. Anyone else???
Also, if he was not intoxicated or did not think he would have blown over the limit then why did he refuse to take the breath test when he was being 'booked'
Seems like a strange thing to refuse if it would help in your defense down the road
