Jury acquits escort shooter

You should use it on semi auto for your first time.  Way easier to control.

I imagine because trying to get your money back is not a felony.

Shooting up a moving vehicle in an apartment complex parking lot usually is though.

Do they have to charge you with that to use it?

I shoulda taken his approach when my bank incorrectly charged me an overdraft fee. 

A nasty letter simply lacks that certain something that a stream of automatic rifle bullets provides by way of incentive! 

The problem is banks are rarely open at night

They are way ahead of you Malthus!  But maybe if you did it during the winter when it gets dark early.

Hey, TD Bank is open until 8 PM, for months of the year that is after dark up here.

Which gets us back to how firing your AK at a car with people in it is a perfectly legit way to resolve one's contractual dispute over $150.

Presumably because jury found that it was theft, not a contractual dispute.

How do we know they couldn't have convicted of manslaughter? You guys do know that in a lot of states manslaughter is a "lesser included" of murder, meaning the prosecutor doesn't really "charge with murder instead of manslaughter" in such states if you're charged with murder the jury always has the discretion to convict you of a lesser included. I don't know about Texas, I do know that in the Zimmerman/Martin case in Florida where Zimmerman was charged with 2nd Degree murder that in Florida there are several offenses like manslaughter, involuntary homicide etc that are lesser included offenses. So in the Zimmerman/Martin case just because the prosecutor chose murder doesn't mean the jury either has to agree that Zimmerman formed malicious intent or that he's acquitted, they can decide the aggravating factors that would make it second degree murder may not exist but that he's still guilty of manslaughter or another lesser charge.

One of the articles said that there were no jury instructions given on manslaughter, presumably because the prosecutor didn't ask for any.

One would expect the jury to find that shooting at a car with an AK-47 is at least "reckless," in which case he could have been convicted of manslaughter. But the prosecution didn't charge him with manslaughter, only murder. Manslaughter is a "lesser included offense" of murder and the judge is entitled to instruct the jury if the evidence supports that charge, but it appears she did not. The jury can't convict on a charge that isn't before them.

Is "anti-nutter" a pejorative? 

It bothers me!
