re: Update: Alleged Perp in custody: Garret James Ward of BR for 2nd Degree murder

So we’ve had witness claim that the victim was attacked while breaking up a dispute between Garrett and an unknown female

Now we have a witness claiming that Garrett got up from sitting on a tree stoop to randomly attack this man

What’s next?

---

And both scenarios make Ward look even worse than the initial report.

I don't get your point. In both accounts he is the aggressor.

I’d really like to believe I live in a world where 25 year old guys who seem to have their shite together professionally and have a lot to lose don’t go around saying “hey old man catch these frickin hands! Where do I got my shoes now you dumb bastard??? That’s right! On your fricking face!”

But maybe I’m a Pollyanna

Maybe the guy has had everything or many things go his way instead of gaining anything he has through character and merit. I think someone in the thread said something about him mostly likely having an "in" at Latter & Blum to get a nice job like that. Guy knew how to shake hands whether he deserved it or not if I had to guess.

Williams wrote in the murder warrant that one of the witnesses who police interviewed said Ward was "sitting outside on a tree stump when the victim (Mr. Jackson) was casually walking down the street minding his own business." "Mr. Ward, who appeared to be drunk according to (the witness), jumped up from his stoop and began throwing several punches at Mr. Jackson's head. Mr. Ward was yelling unknown terms and Mr. Jackson was only trying to protect himself," the warrant states

Is the murders buddy still around? Wasp? Where ya at mon frere? Care to comment about occams razor again?

Not racists, but they wouldn't take kindly to slandering Mr. Jackson absent of facts. I know lawyers sometimes can get a little "theatrical" when trying to portray the defendant or prosecution as a monster or the opposite as a harmless individual.

Interested to see Red's criminal history, because no matter how minor it may be, it'll definitely be used against him.

If one witness says Ward jumped up from a stump and beat Jackson for no reason, and one witness says he was beating a woman and Jackson intervened, those are two completely different stories, that would discredit each witness almost in entirety

I beleive that is the point

The prosecution is not going to bring forth witnesses that tell conflicting stories

However, I beleive the woman beating story is completely fabricated, as nothing has been brought forth at all from the cops regarding this

All I did was include a story I just read. No real point other than noticing the pretty big discrepancy between the two witnesses.

---

Even without the eye witness testimonies you have :

1. Guy dead specifically from blunt force trauma to head

2. Perp with blood on both hands and found running from the scene

At the minimum all the witnesses admit they saw the perp hitting on the victim.


The discrepancies might not make any difference at all.

'2", 220lbs, and killed someone with his bare hands and feet 


I think he is pretty damn cut out for it

He beat a sick 60 year old man.

That's the point I was trying to make earlier ... as if any inmate will be intimidated because he killed a decrepit 60-year old

Yeah..this guy is going away for a while unless Lindsey Williams finds something major in discovery

Video, other witnesses..literally nothing is in wards favor at the moment
