25 yr old female ccw guilty of murder

[WLJ]

After hearing arguments and witness statements, the Clayton County judge sentenced Payne to serve life in prison with the possibility of parole for the charge of malice murder. She will also serve eight years consecutively for the count of false imprisonment and another five for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

            oooh, that stinks for her!
 I meet so many people, many to the tenth power, tons and tons ( who own/carry guns )  - who can't seem to understand they need to actually study and know deadly force rules/laws for the jurisdiction where they live and visit. I suspect she thought having a ccw gave her police powers.
 
 
 I think that a life sentence is too harsh  - I would have given her ten or something.
 Lots of people get shorter sentences for longer crimes.
 
 I'm not buying the confused poor old man narrative, I think he was on something and he thought he would win the fight with the girl because he has won lots of fights with angry girls .

 I hope whoever filled her head with nonsense about the who/what/where/why and hows of using a gun is questioning their advice.

I'm not seeing any way this fits the charge of Malice Murder.

No "malice aforethought," and no deliberate intention. And I certainly don't think the circumstances reflect "an abandoned and malignant heart." She did act foolishly, but this verdict is a miscarriage of justice. I'd love to read the judge's instructions to the jury.

I'd be interested in the jury demographics. "Better to be tried by twelve" doesn't hold the weight it once did.

I did not know it happened in GA... you are right.

Eliminating the citizen's arrest in GA was a moral obscenity, and not necessary at all even given the stupid Aubrey situation.

If someone breaks into your house and rapes your daughter, and runs... you can go to jail of you capture and hold him for the cops.

I guess the GA lawmakers were afraid of being called racist.   

Why would you call the police if you caught your daughter’s rapist and deny yourself the opportunity to do God’s work?

Well, since GA eliminated citizen's arrest, I suppose you could be charged with murder if you killed the fleeing rapist.

It is astoundingly stupid.

Mark 12:17



Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto G-d that which is G-d's.

Versions differ slightly.

Somewhat controversial, but often used to differentiate the just powers of the civil government from the just powers of religious authority.

Your boomstick is NOT an all-purpose tool.
