2 police officers shot in North East Charlotte

[Zaximus]

Meh HVK. Who cares? Its not they just shot people for being in the neighborhood, unless they were rival gang members I suppose.

 

Even in the documentary they said the reason the HVK's were so successful was because no one knew how big of a deal they were.  They were smart about it.  It wasn't until that shootout on Sugar Creek till it got really exposed.  That neighborhood doesn't look like a bad neighborhood if you didn't know the history of it honestly.   It's kind of sad because it's a pretty cool place if it was cleaned up a bit and in a better part of town.

All Charlotte police officers should start looting in protest.

 

 

Difference is the guy who shot them was arrested and details were given out almost immediately.

I think the reason everything was available right away is because no one died.  If someone got killed, it's a different protocol they have to follow.

this man will likely recieve the dealth penalty or at worse life inprisonment. There is nothing to protest. He committed a crime, he was arrested, and he will be tried. Justice will be served.

North Carolina is not as harsh on death penalty as some other states.  I think he will get a life in prison.  You do not shoot at police officers.

The death penalty is only for first degree murder.

 

He is charged with 3 counts of attempted murder. This doesn't qualify for a life sentence as best I can tell. Depending on what the lawyers work out I would guess 30 years/out in 10-20. I think they could technically find him guilty on all three counts and make him serve them one at a time but I don't think they usually this.

Police get different treatment from regular citizens.  Attempted murder on police officer almost always gets you a life in prison.  He attempted to kill 2 police officers and 10 year old girl.

 

Here's an example.

Not sure if you meant the last sentence but I don't even think a majority do. 15-40 years is much more common. Also that is Deleware. Each state has it's own sentencing.

 

I can only find three in NC and they all got long sentences but not life

In NC the charge is a class is a B1 Felony and the sentencing guidelines do call for life in prison if the the crime has aggravating circumstances and the defendant has enough prior convictions. Our charlotte guy does have a priors but it looks like a class D&E felony. I'll stick with 30 years but the courts system is not an expertise of mine

Good research.  Thanks.

I do sometimes wonder why the penalty for attempted murder is automatically less than that for actual murder.  Should the convicted get less of a sentence just because he or she can't shoot straight?

I think there are legal semantics. First degree murder is premeditated and you can easily get life/the chair. But second degree murder and voluntary manslaughter carry pretty similar sentences to non-premeditated attempted murder (2nd degree attempted murder in most states.)

Here's a poor kid that got shot.  How can you shoot a child?

She is very lucky to have not lost that eye.
