Delaware Supreme Court overturns conviction in fatal Delaware school bathroom attack

The Delaware Supreme Court has overturned the criminally negligent homicide conviction of a teen in the beating of Amy Inita Joyner-Francis at a Wilmington high school in April 2016.

Trinity Carr was 17 when a Family Court judge found her guilty of criminally negligent homicide and third-degree criminal conspiracy last year. The conspiracy conviction stands; it was not appealed.

Joyner-Francis was 16 when she died on April 21, 2016, after a violent encounter with Carr and two others in a restroom at Howard High School of Technology.

POS just had her hand slapped to begin with and now she can just go out and do it again. Mark my words, she'll be in trouble again. Guaranteed

The Delaware Supreme Court is obviously staffed with idiots. Any attack on a person by another person can reasonably be assumed to result in death (s**t happens) and if a person dies during an attack no matter what the cause of death the initiator of the attack should be held criminally liable.

Liberalism must be killed before it does more damage to decent people.

Regardless of whether the poor girl Joyner-Francis had an existing heart condition and this POS Carr was not aware of this condition, would the beating inflicted on Joyner-Francis by Carr have been the cause of Joyner-Francis going into cardiac arrest and dying? So now you can beat the hell out of someone with an existing condition, killing them, and get off free because of the victim’s existing condition? That’s insane.

Thats why you encourage your child to defend their self. They may be called a responder, they may be called a thug, but at least they ll have a chance and possibility to live. Alot of this generation of kids are vicious. A bully needs a good ol a$$ whooping sometimes to make them reconsider their bullyish ways. My mother always says, its not the one who will fight back you better watch..., this poor child was jumped and beat to death. Its no wonder this generation feels entitled to reoffend, there is no real consequences for their minor offenses and it just escalates. My prayers to her family. & i gurantee if a family member had retaliated, they would receive more than deserved or should have got. Gotta love the american judicial system. Smh

"No reasonable factfinder could conclude that (Carr's) attack – which inflicted only minor physical injuries – posed a risk of death so great that Tracy was grossly deviant for not recognizing it," the Supreme Court opinion reads.
