Shooters in Summer Moody case will not be charged.

29. well, on March 29

I was bashing away like a madwoman trying to get my billing done before govt fiscal year-end, to avoid being throttled by marauding clerks.

There's a false dichotomy in that discussion, though. Shoot in the head vs. shoot over the head.

Not shoot at all is always an option. In the Alabama case, try just yelling. Presumably the would-be camp raiders, or whatever they were doing, had counted on obtaining vacant possession of the premises and finding there was occupation might well have changed their minds. In the case in that thread, wait a tiny instant to see whether the person who broke down the door turns tail upon seeing the gun ("So once he came inside my house, I shot him&quot .


Here's my big question in this case:

http://www2.wkrg.com/news/2012/apr/20/4/men-involved-summer-moody-shooting-identified-ar-3644145/

News 5 did some digging and we learned William Hearn has a criminal record. He was arrested in Lawrenceville, Georgia, outside Atlanta, in 1996 for trafficking cocaine and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Hearn was then arrested in Semmes in 2010 because he failed to check in with his probation officer for three months.

He is the one whose shot killed Moody.

Why did he have a firearm, and why is he not being charged in connection with his possession of the firearm?

Just seems to me like a case where his credibility could do with a little trial by jury.
