This brings back memories of Bernard Goetz in NY - but this is much worse and I recall opinions being the same about both men due to vaguely similar circumstances.

Do I understand the sequence of events correctly in that teen #1 goes starts to go down stairs and gets shot and teen #2 does the same very shortly thereafter? If I am correct then what kind of drugs was teen #2 on?????
Well, my pal the attorney, quoted in my column (above) tells me that in Minnesota, only a grand jury can hand down an indictment for Murder 1. That's why he's charged right now with Murder 2...just to keep him on ice.
From what has been described, it is possible the authorities believe he was in waiting down in the basement for "somebody" to break in so he could off them. He had been burglarized before, allegedly to the tune of about $10K. I do not know the particulars on that just yet.
But pressing a muzzle under somebody's chin and capping one off "as a good finishing shot" can hardly be described as a spontaneous or unintentional act.
He'd have to have OJ's dream team to get him out of this one, methinks.
I think it'd be a stretch for a DA to convince anyone he was lying in wait for someone to break in just based on what's been presented, so I doubt that Murder 1 rap'll be coming down (even if the authorities suspect it, that'd be difficult on the best of days to sell.) Good to know that has to be Grand Jury - didn't know that little factoid before.
I don't think MN is a death-penalty state so the difference between 1 and 2 is kinda moot at his age anyway. He'll be carried out of a cell, regardless.
,,, just happened to have a tarp,,,
I doubt that will be a stretch at all.
But we'll see.
Minnesota case ignites Northwest debate on home, self-defense
Pacific Northwest gun owners and activists are engaged in a very active discussion about home protection and self-defense in the wake of a double-slaying in Minnesota that was reported yesterday, with sentiments clearly against the dead teen burglars.

Am I the only man that thought of Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino when I read this?
