Shooting In Terrytown, Road Rage??

[Old School]

Sounds like that intersection is the problem....

 

[sliguns]

The Times Picayune and The Advocate are both really poor sources of information. Both publications and their websites are used to stir the pot of racism that will continue to make things worst.

I'm noticing this more and more

The FB comments are saying the protests paid off... I hope they really don't believe they accomplished something.

"Gasser’s release again came under question after the Sheriff’s Office on Friday night released details about his 2006 arrest in connection to a bizarre road-rage incident at the same intersection where McKnight was shot, , Behrman Highway and Holmes Boulevard."

So he was re-arrested for something that happened 10 years ago?

thx

I'm not sure how this charge/arrest makes sense with the known facts right now...anyone have the LA definition of Manslaughter?

I guess we'll know more after the 10a conference

Clicking on Title 14 gives you an error on the LA RS website for some reason.

§31. Manslaughter

A. Manslaughter is:

(1) A homicide which would be murder under either Article 30 (first degree murder) or Article 30.1 (second degree murder), but the offense is committed in sudden passion or heat of blood immediately caused by provocation sufficient to deprive an average person of his self-control and cool reflection. Provocation shall not reduce a homicide to manslaughter if the jury finds that the offender's blood had actually cooled, or that an average person's blood would have cooled, at the time the offense was committed; or

(2) A homicide committed, without any intent to cause death or great bodily harm.

(a) When the offender is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of any felony not enumerated in Article 30 or 30.1, or of any intentional misdemeanor directly affecting the person; or

(b) When the offender is resisting lawful arrest by means, or in a manner, not inherently dangerous, and the circumstances are such that the killing would not be murder under Article 30 or 30.1.

B. Whoever commits manslaughter shall be imprisoned at hard labor for not more than forty years. However, if the victim killed was under the age of ten years, the offender shall be imprisoned at hard labor, without benefit of probation or suspension of sentence, for not less than ten years nor more than forty years.

Amended by Acts 1973, No. 127, §1; Acts 1991, No. 864, §1; Acts 1992, No. 306, §1; Acts 1994, 3rd Ex. Sess., No. 115, §1; Acts 2008, No. 10, §1.

If he was in his car, and McKnight was trying to get at him, then this is a false arrest. The definition is actually pretty understandable and not much gray area. We really need to see the video for ourselves before we can make an educated decision on this.

I wonder if the Sheriff finally got to see video....and now has arrested Gasser...is the conference televised?

This is true, IF McKnight was trying to enter the vehicle. If they found a witness who said he was standing there (easily possible given the earlier 'witness') or was maybe just leaning on the vehicle, Gasser is SOL as far as this statutes protection.

OR, it is also possible that LA's aggressor statute may come into play:

A person who is the aggressor or who brings on a difficulty cannot claim the right of self-defense unless he withdraws from the conflict in good faith and in such a manner that his adversary knows or should know that he desires to withdraw and discontinue the conflict.

If a witness has evidence of Gasser being the aggressor, his self defense claim may be shot. I would think the fact he remained in his vehicle, and the other guy got out of his to continue a confrontation, suggests who the aggressor is. But, then again, I am not a lawyer. Just your average online law expert

That's my thoughts as well. He may have thought he was covering his ass, but probably instigated the situation. If he was taunting McKnight, then he's in deep doo doo...

is the conference televised?

WAFB has a live feed on FB... Hurry up, they haven't started yet.

Sounds like Gasser dun goofed up

 

[whbonney26]

First witness said he shot through McKnight's window and drug him out of his car and stood over him saying he voted for Donald Trump........my they will just say anything to further their agenda. They don't care at all.
