A Milwaukee man was convicted Wednesday of fatally shooting his 13-year-old neighbor whom he suspected had broken into his home and stolen weapons. The trial now shifts into a second phase in which the defense will try to prove the 76-year-old defendant was mentally ill at the time of the shooting.
A jury deliberated for about an hour before finding
John Henry Spooner guilty of first-degree intentional homicide.
Surveillance video from Spooner’s own security cameras showed him
confronting Darius Simmons in May 2012, pointing a gun at him from about
6 feet away and shooting him in the chest.
But I thought it was a "get away with murder" law?
ReplyDeleteApparently it doesn't work the way Laci says it does.
