When they came back the 2nd time she was doomed without a lawyer.

When they came back the second time, she was going to be arrested no matter what she said, they made that clear. They told her based on her first interview (which was very brief), talking with witnesses, and the attorney general that they were arresting her. She could have had a lawyer there with her and said nothing and she was going to jail. Deservedly so.

It’s always smart to lawyer up, guilty or innocent. But she did very little to incriminate herself.

No interest in race baiting stuff that Netflix puts out

Netflix wins again

The Karen will spend the rest of her life in prison for what probably amounted to premeditated murder but of course Netflix pushes this agenda anyway with the stand your ground law… The whole statistic about increase in white on black homicides from 8% to 11%

Of course they ignore the ratio of white on black vs black on white homicides and then when you factor in per capita their whole agenda falls apart. No justice no peace yet she got what she deserved, justice was served so can you chill tf out with the race baiting.. absolutely not! That’s Netflix for you. They’re disguting and would prefer to push division. They’d have been happier with a result of her being found not guilty so they could really stoke the flames tbh

She's insane. She started a bunch of the shite herself, example setting her truck alarm on, throwing stuff at them. And she rammed a gate and destroyed it and went home. There's been a few posts online that she was on heavy meds. Not sure if that contributed to her mental illnesses but she's crazy.

If anything, her staying out of jail gave her a false sense of security. She thought she had a chance and spoke freely with police. Maybe that wasn’t the plan of the cops, but it worked out pretty well for them and for justice.

It stated stand your ground laws increased monthly homicide rates by 8-11%, not what you stated. They did note something about stand your ground cases and the racial makeup of those cases.

Which is impossible to prove and can be connected to a number of different things. The single study from 2022 was published in the journal JAMA Network Open. The editor of the journal at the time: Fred Rivara (born May 17, 1949)[1] is a professor of pediatrics and epidemiology at the University of Washington at Seattle Children's Hospital known for his research into the relationship between gun ownership and gun violence in the 1990s.

Think there was a bias???

It claimed that whites are more likely to win SYG cases vs blacks. It didn’t cite any study for that one.

It's Netflix so everything is minority focused, if not heavily leaning.

The whole premise of the documentary was to show how stand your ground laws are stupid.

It was absolutely slanted.

Interesting watch, because I've also just finished listening to the "Camp Swamp Road" podcast about the Scott Spivey stand your ground case in South Carolina.

In that podcast, the policeman buddy of Weldon Boyd is recorded saying, "You're lucky the guy was white, if he was black it would have been a whole other issue." or something along those lines. Which I thought was an interesting perspective (albeit, not born out by statistics from what I've been able to tell).

Anyway, I thought the Netflix show, while clearly anti-Stand your ground and pro racial justice, actually did a good job of not hitting a lot of the stereotypical "race baiting" that they could have. It showed the, mainly white, cops as "good guys" who were supportive of the community and the minority kids. It showed the mixed race neighborhood as a wholesome place where people largley get along. It basically showed that this lady was an unhinged racist outlier, not part of some larger systemically racist system (though it did have the race-based statistic at the end that does point to potential injustice in Stand Your Ground laws).

Anyway, the thing that bugged me about the Spivey case was that if Weldon Boyd would have ended up getting shot and killed instead of Spivey... then Spivey would have likely gotten off as well. Its almost like the "winner" of the gun battle gets to write the story of how things went down.

All that being said: I can't believe Weldon Boyd's dumbass was recording everything on his phone during that entire period of time and that it all got subpoenaed. So freaking wild.
