一个乔治亚理工的学生,和几个朋友一起去溜冰,准备到朋友家去载他,结果走错了门,开进了错误了drive way,然后该学生上门准备去敲门。
主人是个越战老兵,出门,先朝天鸣枪示警。该学生吓得赶紧退回到车里,准备倒车退出。老兵再次向车开枪,把学生一枪爆头。
最后判决结果,老兵罚款500元,外加一年缓刑。这缓刑,基本上就是不用坐牢。
你们说说,这判决公正不公正?
In January, 2013, Rodrigo Diaz, a Georgia Tech student from Colombia, was going skating in suburban Atlanta with his girlfriend and three of their friends. They had one last person to pick up, and as they pulled into the driveway of Phillip Sailors, a retired Vietnam veteran, to pick up their friend, they soon realized that it was the wrong address.According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Phillip Sailors stormed out of his house and fired a warning shot into the air with his pistol. Stunned, Rodrigo hurriedly put the car in reverse and attempted to get out of the driveway as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, Phillip Sailors never let that happen. Sailors, aiming at the vehicle, fired a shot directly at Rodrigo, hitting him in the head and killing him right there in the driveway.Insanely, when the Lilburn Police arrived, with Rodrigo dead in the car, they arrested his girlfriend and the two other passengers and held them overnight in jail. On this past Monday, Phillip Sailors struck a plea deal with Gwinnett County prosecutors that only required him to pay a $500 fine and have one year of probation. An outrageous injustice, it's unimaginable to think that the roles could ever be reversed in a situation like this. Does anyone truly think that if Phillip Sailors accidentally pulled into the driveway of some young Latino or African American and got shot in the head without ever leaving the car that they would be allowed to pay a $500 fine and never serve a day in jail? What precedent is this setting? It's a dangerous day when a crime so heinous is given a sentence so light.
