He didn’t initiate shite. The guy already had has his fixed blade knife out and was trying to sneak up behind the victim. The victim sees him and pushes him away. This is a guy that has stabbed multiple people before. It can easily be deduced that if he has a knife already out and is sneaking up on someone he intended to stab him.
That is certainly one interpretation, and the defendant provided another ... something about proposing a trade of the knife for cigarettes. The jury seems to have believed the defendant's explanation ... at least enought to sow "reasonable doubt" and thus preclude a conviction. "Reasonable doubt." Try to keep that concept in mind.

I'll not speculate on why you choose to accept the interpretation that you choose to accept. Certainly it is not tied to stereotypes of any sort.

And before you start whining "Leftist," I do not accept EITHER argument because I was not present to hear the evidence. I simply observe that the jury clearly did so.

wonder what would have happened if the victim had brought a gun to this "knife fight"


Apparently the "victim" didn't need a gun. A knife would good enough.

You are speculating though. I don’t have any preconceived notions and your assumption that I do shows your racisit tendencies. I copied the information for you directly from an article AOL


Or how about Oregon Live. The defense attorney said the most delivery part was the racial slur after the stabbing.

quote:

Transit cameras showed Edwards, a fixed-blade knife clasped at his side, approaching Howard from behind as he sat on a bench. The video has no sound, but Howard springs up and pushes Edwards as soon as he sees him. The duo scuffle against a wall for a brief moment, ending with Edwards stabbing Howard in the shoulder.

Defense attorney Daniel Small said the most relevant evidence was recorded later, when security officers heard the wounded man shouting the racist slur and captured it on their body cameras as he described the incide

The "victim" assaulted the defendant (without a weapon), and the defendant then stabbed him ... arguably in self-defense. The jury clearly believed the self-defense claim.

This coming from the “lawyer” that still believes rittenhouse committed murder.

He will end up murdering someone and this jury will have blood on their hands.

Are you proficient in reading and understanding the English language?

I said that was my bet, not that it was some established fact.

Apparently you are NOT proficient.

Yes, the defendant walked up behind the "victim." Did you read the part where the "victim" nonetheless struck the first blow.

Did the knife justify that assault? That was a question for the jury.

You were not present to hear the testimony or to evaluate the witnesses, but you have made up your mind. Rather typical, IMO.

Are you actually suggesting that someone coming after you with a knife doesn’t allow for proactive measures for self-preservation.

Your “relentless analysis” seems to be centered around a supporting a pre-determined narrative.

Whats next?

That a criminal isn’t guilty of rape because the victim had a mini-skirt on under her jacket.

And here we have it. Once again, you are "adding facts" which are not present in the original story.

The defendant clearly had a knife. That is not remotely in dispute. But the story does NOT indicate that he was either attacking or ABOUT to attack the other fellow.

Your interpretation is obviously one possibility. The defendant provided a different possibility ... something about trading the knife for cigarettes. The jury heard the evidence and decided which witness(es) were more credible.

They were present. You were not. So, in your analysis, you are automatically correct.

All whites are racist. Jury says ok to stab whites.

The bank robber was going to trade his guns for cash. Instead, he short the clerk, and kept the guns and the cash.

According to you (and the goose-steppers on the jury)…not guilty.

Oh really?

I know that I usually sneak up on people with a deadly weapon in order to trade that item with them.

You are a tool to defend this.
