A California man who was caught on video pummeling a sheriff's deputy and shooting at her with her own gun in 2019 was found not guilty of attempted murder and other charges by a jury, with the victim saying the decision sets a bad precedent for law enforcement.

CA is lost until the people physically take it back.

quote:

Raj Malin, the defense lawyer, told Los Angeles' ABC 7 that McCarthy did not have reasonable suspicion to justify patting down his schizophrenic client when she arrived on scene.

"The issue was, was the initial detention of Mr. Young legal?" he told the station. "If it's not, then he's not guilty. ... He could punch her 100 times, and it wouldn't matter."

quote:

The defense] argued that she didn't have a lawful authority to detain him, and therefore, he's free to defend himself and do whatever he wants to get away from her, including beating her up and shooting at her," Essayli told Fox News Digital. "That's not correct. That's not the law. And I don't think the judge should have allowed that argument to be presented in that manner."

quote:

California State Assemblyman Bill Essayli, R-Riverside, a former federal prosecutor and deputy district attorney in nearby Riverside County, said the case should have had enough evidence to secure a conviction — and that there may have been anti-police bias in the jury.


No way. Definitely not in California.

Every police officer in every jurisdiction should call in sick for the next three days.

For frisking a suspect?

This 'lawyer' should immediately be disbarred.

And now we know why these animals just need to be put down at the scene. The black supracemcy movement is endangering society with their retribution. Their idolization of thugs instead of good people is sad.

Cops there should strike and let the people blame the people on that jury for what comes their way.

With that said...wood def the cop broad.

I said here not long ago that the truth is no longer the truth it’s whatever you believe the truth to be. I also said thats only a matter of time before that mindset spills into the courtroom with jurors and judges. Well, here we are.

How about for openly advocating physical violence against a (female) police officer? One who is simply doing their job.

If his client feels his rights have been violated, in a normal world, he would file a complaint. But in your twisted world, simply being searched amounts to deadly assault.

The lawyer did not do that. He was simply explaining his interpretation of the law ... that a citizen has a right to protect himself with physical violence when subjected to an (attempted) unlawful arrest.

I do not necessarily agree with is interpretation, but it is not inherently unreasonable and it CERTAINLY is not what you characterize.

Where do you people GET this stuff? Do you just pull it out of your arse whenever you see my name? It is HIGHLY entertaining.

So, if I interpret you taking an action which I see as an attempt at an unlawful arrest, I can kick six shades of shite out of you and not be found guilty?

FFS, and for the third time, HIS INTERPRETATION is that if you believe you are subject to an unlawful arrest ... AND IF THE JURY AGREES THAT THE ATTEMPTED ARREST WAS UNLAWFUL ... you would be found not guilty of assault if you defend yourself.

He is making a legal argument. You don't disbar people for making legal arguments with which you disagree ... even if they are wrong.

Should all of Trump's lawyers be disbarred for every non-meritorious argument that they have presented in a court in the last three years?

My automatic take on this pretty much matched everyone else's around here, but upon further contemplation I'm just going to say this: the feds have already gone full Orwell. It's only a matter of time before this bleeds down to the state and local level. When this happens, I imagine many of us will be faced with making a decision when the illegal searches and seizures start (and we all know it's coming.)
