Have to see how long the closing statements from each side are to begin with.
If someone starts knitting a flag, they may not be sequestered to vote until late.

Lowest IQ post on TD in quite some time.
Forensic study reported that 34%–44% of fatal stabbing homicides involved a single wound.
But Joey said this was excessive self defense. One stab can't be murderous, right? It was just one little stab.

Dont let shite like this bother you. Go hug your family, have a beer with friends, walk your dog, listen to some music, etc. frick the internet. Our brains weren't made to deal with all the problems of the whole world. That shite even bothered Superman. Live the life in front of you.

But Joey has established he/she/it to be a moron so there’s that.

It’s the prevailing, overwhelming thought from blacks on Twitter.
Hence the disconnect. They really believe if someone “put the hands on you” you can end their lives.

Maybe half a stab would have been fine. Just the tip, so to speak.

Then maybe he shouldn’t have stabbed him in the chest.
Maybe he should have stabbed him in the arse like all the Turks in Midnight Express.

So, if they get up in my face, disrespek me, and touch me, I can blow their brains out?
Oh wait I’m white. Not allowed to do that.

admit his intent was to hurt the guy, but not for the guy to die?
Under Texas law Murder is (in part) defined as when a person:
(1) intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual;
(2) intends to cause serious bodily injury and commits an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual;
The requisite intent was the intent to stab the victim. And it is implicit that stabbing someone with a knife in the chest/abdomen is done so with the intent to cause serious bodily injury. No, he probably did not intend to kill Metcalf. But it's very hard to argue he didn't intend to cause serious bodily harm...which ultimately caused the death of an individual.

If you were trying to kill someone, you wouldn’t stab them just one time. Especially with a small knife. It’s not like this guy was carrying a dagger. How many people convicted of 1st degree murder have ever stabbed a person just once?
Also compare it to the Idaho murders. Kohlburger stabbed those girls 67, 38,28,17 times. Clearly trying to murder them.
It’d be pretty easy for the defense to argue there was no intent that the guy doing the stabbing intended the person to die by only stabbing one time. This is backed up by the questioning with police.
To me this is clearly a case of excessive self defense. Nobody is getting a 1st degree murder charge conviction out of it. I think the only reason the SA even charged 1st degree was to accept a plea bargain lower.
If someone pushes you, and in response you stab them in the stomach one time. One, you are defending yourself. Two, it’d be hard to prove intent of murder. Intent of harmful bodily injury - yes. Bodily injury that results in loss of life, doubtful.
I’d expect the jury to find him guilty of manslaughter and he gets 10 years in prison given his age and lack of priors. There is no way he walks free.

I’m sure the everyday rank and file folk disagree.

Low trust, low IQ culture.

Murder and manslaughter are completely different. If someone gets in a fight and punches a guy who falls and bangs his head and dies, manslaughter. Guy gets his chest ripped open with a knife wound, that’s murder.

lol those dumbasses have no idea how self defense laws work.
Reminds me of that leftist in Seattle that shot that black crippled veteran in “self-defense” after asking to see his veterans card and he refused. These people are mentally insane.

Maybe if they worried less about disrespek and more about why da ceiling birds be chirpin all the time, things would be better for them.

No, because intent for the purposes of murder is intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm. Things like stabbing and shooting automatically cover the second part.
