Your client decided to participate in an event that resulted in the death of an innocent man. Doesn't that matter?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351350773188711876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205558467164148685.post-44048650647032421902010-07-11T15:22:51.074-05:002010-07-11T15:22:51.074-05:00Hi Tom: The fact remains that an animal went to j...Hi Tom: The fact remains that an animal went to jail instead of being fried.

Yes, Mr. Thompson shot the clerk at the front of the store. May have intended to kill him. But that man did not die. At that point, Mr. Thompson was guilty of attempted capital murder.<br />However, as he and his accomplice were trying to flee, the second clerk ran out of the store. The accomplice fired from the getaway car and struck that clerk, killing him.<br />The jury at the accomplice's trial believed that there was no intent to kill. So, the triggerman was sentenced to life for murder. He'll be eligible to parole soon.<br />It appears that you do not understand the law of capital murder for robbery-murders. It has been the law since 1974 that to be a capital murder, there must be the intent to kill. Not shoot, not wound, not maim but to kill.<br />This is different from the lesser offense of murder, where a person can be convicted for intentionally or knowingly shooting someone.<br />In regular murder, the focus of the intent is on the intent to do an act. In capital murder, it is on the intent to cause the result.<br />If you're going to write about the law, the least you could do is get your law and your facts straight.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422756686976294550noreply@blogger.com
