DA has just announced she sees no probable cause for prosecuting Summer Moody's shooter.

She's just finishing up a press conference.

She also indicated, however, that the Grand Jury that will be investigating the burglary is free to expand their inquiry to the issue of the shooters.

3. Already crossed Florida and Arizona off my list of states to visit. Next on the list, sweet

home Alabama. Too bad, b/c I have relatives who live in Auburn. Oh well. If they want to see me badly enough, they can leave Dumb-fuck-istan.

4. Did she give a reason?

[pnwmom]

6. If I can recall correctly

I think her reasoning was that the shooters couldn't have known Summer was there -- she would have been too hard to see -- and they were shooting away from the other teens. So they're off the hook because they didn't purposely try to kill Summer.

I only saw part of the press conference, and no one in that part asked her about negligent homicide or manslaughter.

7. Hopefully the grand jury will dig in

and get somewhere with this travesty.

8. Interesting, they were deliberately trying to point the gun away to avoid shooting the other teens

and ended up killing the girl who was hiding in the bushes. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER fire a warning shot.

[pnwmom]

10. Since they knew they were seeing running teens,

how could they not realize that there could be more teens in the area?

I completely agree with you about never firing "warning shots."

11. Heat of the moment? Probably never thought that a teen would be hiding in the bushes

in the exact opposite direction of the group. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

9. wow... great.

12. Not even involuntary manslaughter? Careless discharge of a weapon? Something? ANYTHING?

....Wow, that is just fucked beyond words..
