Jury acquits escort shooter

[Valmy]

(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing
immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated
robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the
property;

But instead, Frago walked around his apartment and after about 20 minutes left

I know things move slower in the South, but even 20 minutes doesn't qualify as "immediately" down there.

She hadn't escaped with the um...goods yet.  20 minutes was the time she was not putting out like she was not legally bound to do so.

Did he not get hit with any sort of prostitution/solicitation/whatever charge? 

Well that is the thing.  Even if you interpret this law in retarded way required how exactly can you show that a non-advertised illegal service is legally that dude's property?

[Valmy]

So in Texas, if a contract for personal services is breached, you can ask for specific performance, or shoot them in dead in the street.  As long as it's night, I guess.

P.S.: MB's trolling is weak.

It seems even if there is no contract, the service was at most implied, and the service is illegal.

Aren't currently subject to a court order restraining you from harassing, stalking, or threatening your child, an intimate partner, or the child of an intimate partner.

Wait, so stalking those is not kosher, but anyone else is? Where's the logic in that?

E to add the quote:

I believe they're saying the $150 is his property, and she was "stealing" it when she jumped into the car and was leaving before the half hour was up (and before he got laid).  I didn't know this sort of thing could apply to illegal actions though.  Like if your coke dealer gave you baking soda instead of blow, then tried to take off with your cash, you could shoot him?  It really seems more like they somehow confused a jury made up of tards.

I just don't see why they wouldn't also try to get him with some sort of charge relating to the prostitution.  The original thing was aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, which then turned into some sort of murder charge when she died.  I also wonder if they had gone for a lesser murder or something like manslaughter if they would have gotten him.

Pretty tortured stretch considering even he said he only interpreted the ad as promising to get him laid.  It was only implied.

Yeah rather a prosecutor fail on that front I guess.  They probably figured the case for murder was so strong they didn't need to cover their bases like that.

I was trolling? Weird. Whores aren't people.

Only for the purposes of gun ownership and if I were to guess it is because those are the forms of stalking that usually result in guns being used.

I think the focus was more on the $150 and lack of...er...services rendered.  The cash was his, she didn't do what she was supposed to, so she was stealing from him when she decided to leave.  I don't know why they would bust out the sex part though, since it seems like they could have just used the 20 minute vs 30 minute thing, but I guess it worked.   

These are the lawyers, btw:  http://www.nicholasandbarrera.com/overview.php  Roy Barrera, Sr and Robert J Barrera were the dudes in the photo.

I mean, I see where they were coming from if that was what they were thinking, but....

I have to say those are some pretty badass lawyers for some loser-who-shoots-prostitutes.  How the hell could he afford them?

I dunno.  Maybe he had some scratch saved up from living in that horribly shitty apartment complex. 

E:  I DO know, however, which lawyers I'm calling if I ever get into some shit.  They managed to get a dude out of there while still saying he actually *did* shoot a prostitute.

Do you happen to shoot prostitutes often?

[MadBurgerMaker]

I try not to but shit happens.

[Valmy]

Do you happen to shoot prostitutes often?

Well no but if they can get off prostitute murderers they should easily get you off that traffic offense.

Only in their faces.
