The decision to allow the testimony of the prior incident will certainly be part of the appeal, but I don’t know if it’s enough to overturn.



It will, but it's going to the same courts that already denied the writ they took.

But not the same panel of judges.

I don’t think it’s enough to overturn, but it’s certainly the strongest thing the defense has.

Isn't the max for manslaughter 40 years in LA?

Yes, I think he'll get 30.

I also thought Buras would give Hayes 30 or 35 just for the sake of giving Fuller points, but she gave him 25, which was out of character.

Defense was not earning their fee if there wasn’t

I think it’s the right verdict. Considering his own words about when he pulled the gun, he’s lucky it isn’t murder 2.

Sentence should be 25-35. A father/ son/ brother is dead.

Sounds to me like they both are hotheaded tools who can't control themselves.

Uh, No.

As a result one is dead and the other is going to prison, all over a dumb fricking road rage situation. Both were stupid.

agree completely...either one had a million chances to do things differently, but they both chose the route that led them to where they are today.

Witnesses said McKnight was laughing during the chase while Gasser was enraged and yelling out his window.

Sounded like McKnight thought it was a game and that was his downfall because Gasser decided to end the game.

Haha...Gasser's previous road rage incident pretty much showed that he was an a-hole and a lunatic.
one incident, 10 years ago. That isn't a pattern. I did a lot of dumb things 10 years ago that I haven't repeated.

Allowing that in this case was a terrible idea.

That said, he probably still gets found guilty of manslaughter.

But he repeated it....

Who knows how many times he was in similar incidents that weren't reported.

He literally just was an hour ago.

I meant he would have still gotten manslaughter without that being admissable.
