Farce of the Week: Father kills 15-yo son execution-style. Jury sez: 2nd degree murder!
 Find the unedited article at the link.Personally, I'm even more upset with the jury than with the defendant. Detroit, MI - A jury found Jamar Pinkney Sr. guilty of second-degree murder and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon. He showed no obvious reaction as the verdicts were read, the same emotionless face he displayed during the trial. Probably some kind of honor killing. The jury foreperson, a 21-year-old female college student, later told In Session the initial vote was 10-2 for first-degree murder, but that the majority felt comfortable with a compromise after the instruction on intent was reread. Intent? He intended to kill his son with malice and forethought. That's first degree. That's all I need to know. Great. Now everyone's happy! Posted by: gorb 2010-08-12 |
