Want the right to own a gun, but not the responsibility. Everything's an accident

Nothing screwed up about. He shot a deadly weapon at a car with people in it and killed someone. No one was threatening him.

I'm ok with that, I'm sure the deceased family is not but first degree murder seemed too far fetched.

It seems like the appropriate verdict to me too.

They got it right. He'll probably serve 10 years.

I read the verdict on TD then instantly jumped on their page. Within minutes I was not disappointed.

To everyone who thinks he deserves the harshest penalties possible, I hope hoodlums repeatedly break into your vehicles/dwellings and flee...and all you can do is sit there and watch them and twiddle your thumbs.




Just make sure you shoot someone breaking into your truck instead of 3 kids driving home.

I can't legally shoot my neighbor's dog just because my wife's cat is pissing on my rims.

Legal system; you're doing it wrong.

You cannot kill people for riding down your street. My concern is this judge is a slap on the wrist judge & will give Fontenot a few years for Austin & nothing, no time for the other two. They "judge" shopped for a long time to get this one & Rubin's rep is not very strict.... If someone kills one of your loved ones, Rubin in NOT the judge you want. You also have to remember, whatever Rubing gives Fontenot, he will only serve 1/3 of that, so prepare for the "slap" on the wrist. Fontenot still has to look at himself in the mirror every day & know he took an innocent life.

Seth was selling adderall, and people would try to break in to steal it. Seth texted one of his friends in December 2012, "I swear I am going to kill someone the next time they try this" I am pretty biased to the kids in this situation, but Seth should not just walk a free man. I also do not believe he should, or will get first degree murder. He made just about the dumbest mistake one could make, but he is not a threat to society.


So basically you are saying he is a drug dealer that was targeted by people wanting to steal his stash, who then shot three innocent people that he thought were going after his stash but he isn't a threat to society?

All you LSU fans may be cheering for one of these "piece of shite kids" in a couple of years. Cole Kelley was one of the kids and may come to LSU in the Class of 2016

Guilty of manslaughter. Sounds like the proper outcome.
Sentencing to come - 20 years is about right.
