A tad bit confused right now. Not trying to start thread war so just bear with me on this please. chadstrickland, in your first post on this you agreed that the first shot was right (which i also agree). You also said the 5 shots after were wrong. Then how after making those statements can you say Ersland was right? Just trying to understand, not offend. And whether we agree with the verdict because of or what we feel in spite of society's ill's, the jury has to come to a verdict based on the rule of law, the facts as Sgt Friday was fond of saying. Again, not trying to criticize anyone's way of thinking. Simply curious how some people can see the the same events so differently
