Per usual, you're all convoluted. The event did not happen indoors. Therefore, the castle doctrine does not apply (Although some states extend the castle to your property, such as Texas, SC does only minimally.) Secondly, you used Connecticut as an example. Not really appropriate to SC. Third, your link even specifies that you must feel threatened. How was Scott a threat? (Florida has exceptionally lenient laws in regard to personal safety and won't let you shoot someone in the back.)
Now, if you can find a case where someone was shot in the back, outside, while fleeing, the shooter tampered with evidence, and then I'll give some credence to what you say.
If you read the thread Sir, you will see somebody asked about shooting in your house, we all know this did not happen indoors. I know a lot more about it than anybody on here.
I think the problem is the number of shots and planting evidence as non-chalantly as he did. One shot- maybe 2- can be explained as perceived risk. Shooting someone multiple times in the back as they are hobbling away is what makes choosing a crime such a mess. Do say shots 1-2 are manslaughter and 3,4,5.... are then murder. At some point he chose to keep shooting. There is a reason SLED was involved from the start and had amped up the investigation prior to the disclosure of the tape. The whole thing always stunk.
I am still trying to figure out why he plead guilty...it did not seem like there was "overwhelming" evidence.
Sarcasm is sometimes hard to detect on message boards. Please tell me I'm just missing it.
Otherwise view post #17.
