Vt. woman who cut officer’s throat acquitted of charges. Apparently even hard evidence wasn't enough....

So motivation trumps reality?

"I stabbed him to scare him."

"I shot him to scare him."

It's just insane.

Slitting a cop's throat on camera... Acquitted.

...what?

Is there anyone in the world, other than a white woman, who could possibly fucking get away with this?

There's no fucking way any man would get away with it. ...Well, not without having 50 million in assets, anyway.

Wow. This country is absolutely retarded.

Wonder if he was to pull his gun and shoot her in the neck, and say he was trying to scare her and not kill her.

Look at the Travon Marin case, and now look at this. The evidence here is much stronger, but the media outrage is non-existent. I wonder what the difference is?

Funcuz · 2014-06-11T07:47:31+00:00

Doesn't it stand to reason that if anybody can use any of the excuses she employed then they shouldn't be allowed to walk freely in general society ?

I mean , look , if you're so weak willed that you can't even think for yourself but you managed to slice some guy's throat then you're obviously too stupid to be allowed out. As such, okay, you're not criminally culpable, you're criminally stupid. Fine, we'll just put you in a nicer prison and call it a care home or something. Either way you should be locked up shouldn't you ?

I feel like I shouldn't have to write this at this point, but does anybody... literally anybody... think that a man would have been acquitted of these charges?

You can watch the goddamn surveillance video of her trying to cut his throat on that website! How is it even remotely possible that she isn't guilty?

WOT

insert matriarchy conspiracy theory

If it was a black man, he'd be in jail for life.

2014-06-11T07:01:14+00:00

Well ain't that some bullshit >_<

Video and commentary by Youtuber Sargon of Akkad.

This is more of a fuck the police mentality than a fuck men mentality, though both are stupid.

2014-06-11T11:43:20+00:00

They deliberated for 2 hours...

2014-06-11T19:18:34+00:00

Incident happens at around 8:00 in the video BTW

2014-06-12T01:26:04+00:00

You know there's something wrong with the legal system when a woman can directly threaten a man's life with irrefutable proof of the crime and still get away with no consequences because she used the "I'm sorry :(" defense.

2014-06-11T04:21:41+00:00

That DA has to be incompetent. I could have done this and I lack legal training.

Auzarin · 2014-06-11T13:41:45+00:00

This evidence is almost as clear cut as the evidence in the Rodney King case. Silly jurors are silly.

Meistermalkav · 2014-06-11T15:00:54+00:00

Yea. Toss the chair at that girl, because seriously, she killed somebody, and her only defense is drugs made me do it.

c0mputar · 2014-06-11T04:32:11+00:00

I think it was actually the right decision. She was an idiot but, as far as the reasonable doubt standard goes, the not guilty verdict makes sense. The video does support her defense sufficiently enough to cast reasonable doubt that there was an attempt at murder.

Too often the charges for an offense against an officer are bloated.

But in this case, I think the charges picked were simply not appropriate, that's all. She would have been found guilty of lesser charges, and/or in fact even that second charge, if the prosecution had picked a safer case to make that actually corroborated the defense's argument.
