Is Gasser so unlucky that he is involved with one road rage incident where a guy claims he beat him, and other incident at the same intersection where the other person is so deranged he has to shoot him, or, maybe, just maybe, gasser is the problem?

Apparently the DA had some kind of minor stroke and forgot, you know, law and stuff.


That's what I don't get.

Of course he can't be retried.

That's one of the biggest clauses of the 5th amendment.

Once again, in the case that hand Gasser never got out of his car. Therefore, he never provoked the actual violence. The only question should be whether or not he feared for his life or great bodily harm at the time McKnight reached into his car. That’s it.

And, the fact that it happened at this intersection is clearly a f*cking coincidence. As you stated earlier, the whole incident started on the Mississippi River Bridge. McKnight drove to this intersection and then got out of his car to confront the guy. The guy was not just hanging out at this intersection looking to shoot someone. It was McKnight who chose to get out of his car at this intersection.

Are you friends with the McKnight family?

Dumbass DA thought he could be slick and say since the trial was thrown out it's like it never happened so we can start all over from the top with murder.

He's trying to jack up charges so he can fall back to his manslaughter safety net if he needs to like every DA in the world does. Now if he has to start with manslaughter there's a chance he doesn't get much of any conviction worth his while out of this.

This has no place in a criminal trial. The whole idea of Occam’s razor is that the “simplest answer “is the most likely answer. Most likely is a far less standard than beyond a reasonable doubt.
