Quanell says it's self defense. That defense line is about as lame as lawyer Allen Tanner's 'Rap defense' for the murder of state trooper Bill Davidson in 1992 by a thug whose name I refuse to include. Tanner's ridiculous use of rap music being the inspiration for murder was a failure and the murderer was finally executed October 6, 2005. I hope these thugs get the same sentence.
17-year-old not indicted on murder charge stemming from stolen chips in Humble
https://abc13.com/mario-young-not-indic ... /14690278/
A 17-year-old charged with murdering a store clerk is a free person after a Harris County grand jury chose not to indict him on Tuesday.
Mario Young was charged in the shooting death of Humble store clerk Asif Maknojia during a dispute that started with a stolen bag of chips....
"These young men were not guilty of anything other than trying to protect themselves at a time when they thought something was going to happen to them," Lott Brooks [Young's attorney] said.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't an individual have to be at least 18 years old to to possess and transport a handgun in Texas? And while there is an allowance for licensed carry for individuals 18 through 20, didn't HB1927 made it legal in Texas for qualifying people
21 or over to carry a handgun in a holster without a permit both openly and/or concealed?
So the 17-year-old wearing a hoody with the hood up to hide his face from store cameras and carrying a gun illegally while shoplifting was just a saint doing Peace Corps work and he is "not guilty of anything other than trying to protect himself at a time when he thought something was going to happen to him"?
The poor baby. His mother said, "He's physically and mentally depressed, he's stressed, and he's going to need some counseling."
