The ruling came in a negligence lawsuit filed by the officers against Badger Guns, a shop in suburban Milwaukee that authorities have linked to hundreds of firearms found at crime scenes. The lawsuit alleges the shop ignored several warning signs that the gun used to shoot the officers was being sold to a "straw buyer," or someone who was buying the gun for someone who couldn't legally do so.
Jurors sided with the officers, ruling that the store was negligent in selling the gun.

ReplyDeleteSeems juries and grand juries, too, are 'for some reason' more agreeable to LE. If we look back over the past few years, these juries appear to lean toward LE and not toward the letter of the law as applying to LE nor the constitutional rights of the people.
That's because most jurys are not of a person's peers. Wicomico jurys are full of rich people who bully descions in deliberation. I stood my ground against one of these bullies last year while on duty. So much reasonable doubt and these guys had them guilty before we even talked about it. Even ordering other jurors while standing with chests puffed out. A doctor or school teacher is not a peer of a broke person who can't afford decent representation.
DeleteUnbelievable.

ReplyDeleteI agree, 936. Go after the straw buyer. That's the first criminal in line here, and the shooter is second.
