“He stepped on it and he walked 40 feet through it,” Martin said. “I cared about it. I cut it every five days.”
Think of all the free time he will have now in prison that he won’t have to cut a lawn every 5 days
I don’t disagree with the verdict. He killed a kid. At the same time, I can only think that this 67 year old man probably had nothing in life to care for, maybe no wife, kids he sees once a year. Who knows. Something as passive as a blade of grass to one person may be another’s lively hood.

it remind me of a case where a japanese couple knocked the door because their car broke down, the owner of the house told them FREEZE… couple thought he said PLEASE so they opened the door and boom…
killed both of them and the owner is free…no charges.

and how would we know what the couple thought if he killed them both? just dunno how they would portray what happend and what they thought without being able to communicate, being that theyre dead and all.

my bad, that’s what the owner said he thought happen after the fact…
will find the article and post…
but what i am comparing is that both are invasion of private property, both got warning, but different result. i don’t think the kid deserved to die, but a whooping would have been appropriate…
Rock salt load is much more appropriate
