Jackson is going to go there and make a fool of himself because he doesn't know the facts of this case.He only heard all the rumor mill about what happened.I to was doped in to thinking she should have been let out but after yesterday listening to the audio interview Cory did last February about this case I'm not so sure she should be let out here is the audio

(13,190 posts)Since you support her so much.Facts are facts she obviously has some problems I've seen woman like this before who abuse men and then try and claim the victim.In fact sorry to say my younger sister was like that when she was in her teens she use to punch the shit out of her boyfriend and then tried to have him arrested

(17,865 posts)when an older black man confronted a 41 year white former Iraqi war veteran. Dooley apparently displayed his gun and turned to leave when James grabbed him (some reported by the throat) forcing Dooley to the ground. Dooley fired while on the bottom killing James. Three different eyewitness testimonies but the most favorable for Dooley was James 8 year old daughter who said he had turned away and was leaving when grabbed by James. James outweighed Dooley by 80 pounds and obviously, being ex military, had some level of hand to hand combat training. Dooley was nearing 70 and would obviously had feared for his life being grabbed by a much younger, larger, and stronger man. If you use the Zimmerman jury instructions in his case, then you probably should have the same verdict.

(13,190 posts)The reason I ask is because this is the problem we have in the Alexandra case her family went out and spreaded rumors online and to the media about the case and now we are finding out she's a possible nut case

You have four witnesses besides Dooley (a couple playing tennis, the skateboarder who Dooley was yelling at prior to the confrontation, and the Jame's 8 year old daughter). What is not in dispute is that James took the first physical action and you have testimony from both the skateboarder and the daughter that Dooley had turned to leave. The couple put the gun in Dooley's hand prior to being grabbed by James, but the other two do not.

I used to accuse people of being ignorant of facts when they took a position I disagreed with too. It was convenience and simplistic, and allowed me to minimize the person rather than the position. A cheap trick of course... but I can comfortably state I rarely do it anymore, and when I do, it's merely petulance brought on by a fit of pique.
