It's OK to shoot an escort if she won't have sex with you...

Well with the sort of asinine remarks you generally post it is sometimes unnecessary to comment cecil - you make a fool of yourself well enough without further action.
But since, on this, others share the sick obsession with guns I could not resist.

The real problem with this is that so many people seem to think that someone who is in the sex industry is less than a real person. And it seems a lot of them post on this site, which really seems odd to me since it pretty much is promoting the sex industry. Anyone who finds justification in what this asshole did is just stupid.

JURY ACQUITS ESCORT SHOOTER

By MICHELLE MONDO, San Antonio Express-News staff writer

A Bexar County jury on Wednesday acquitted Ezekiel Gilbert of murder in the death of a 23-year-old Craigslist escort.

Gilbert, 30, embraced defense attorneys Bobby Barrera and Roy Barrera Sr. with tears in his eyes after the not guilty verdict was read aloud by state District Judge Mary Roman.

Outside the courtroom, Gilbert thanked God, the Barrera family and the jury for being able to “see what wasn't the truth” and for the “second chance.”

Had he been convicted, he could have faced up to life in prison for the slaying of Lenora Ivie Frago who died about seven months after she was shot in the neck and paralyzed on Christmas Eve 2009. Gilbert admitted shooting Frago.

“I sincerely regret the loss of the life of Ms. Frago,” Gilbert said Wednesday. “I've been in a mental prison the past four years of my life. I have nightmares. If I see guns on TV where people are getting killed, I change the channel.”

The verdict came after almost 11 hours of deliberations that stretched over two days. The trial began May 17 but had a long hiatus after a juror unexpectedly had to leave town for a funeral.

During closing arguments Tuesday, Gilbert's defense team conceded the shooting did occur but said the intent wasn't to kill. Gilbert's actions were justified, they argued, because he was trying to retrieve stolen property: the $150 he paid Frago. It became theft when she refused to have sex with him or give the money back, they said.

Gilbert testified earlier Tuesday that he had found Frago's escort ad on Craigslist and believed sex was included in her $150 fee. But instead, Frago walked around his apartment and after about 20 minutes left, saying she had to give the money to her driver, he said.

That driver, the defense contended, was Frago's pimp and her partner in the theft scheme.

The Texas law that allows people to use deadly force to recover property during a nighttime theft was put in place for “law-abiding” citizens, prosecutors Matt Lovell and Jessica Schulze countered. It's not intended for someone trying to force another person into an illegal act such as prostitution, they argued.

Asinine ....... moi ? Look in a mirror sometime . Btw, are you still mad that you didn't get one of my scholarships ?

[Jericho]

So, let me try and get this straight. You are holding someone else's property and for whatever reason you refuse to give it back.

The property owner then draws a gun and shoots you, paralysing you with a wound from which you subsequently die.

The case goes to trial and the shooter is acquitted because the law says he was within his rights to do so?

That is just fucked-up beyond words.
