Woah.

[Baltimike]

1. This seems positively Russian. nt

[Codeine]

3. More like somebody realized his self-defense story

was unlikely to hold up under the scrutiny of a trial.

5. If this guy didn't like his chances with an Omaha jury, the evidence must have been bad

[JI7]

7. I heard the self defense tying was bs based on what people who

were there said.

[roamer65]

2. Good.

Saves the cost of a trial and all of the prison accommodations for him.

Good riddance to bad garbage.

[gristy]

4. Well, good for the grand jury.

Not an easy job being on one and having to hand that down.

Gardner was indicted last week on the following counts: manslaughter, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, attempted first-degree assault and terroristic threats.

6. Even if all those went against him, he's realistically looking at 5-8 years

Dude was 38. Twenty year-olds take that stretch for far less without blinking. Weird move.

He wasn't even convicted, for goodness sake. He didn't think he'd get one dipshit gun nutter on a jury in fucking Omaha? Bizarre.

[JI7]

8. I think Omaha itself is more diverse than most of the state

and not as conservative.

[greenjar_01]

9. Sure, but it's 12 randoms

It's still Nebraska.

[TwilightZone]

15. Nah, he was toast, even in NE.

A ton of stuff came out as part of the grand jury process, including multiple witnesses that were conveniently ignored by the county attorney when he released him without charges. The guy was going to prison.

16. I think probably yes, but I also think I'm in the ballpark for time

But you still take your chances with the jury, no?

[TwilightZone]

17. Repeat offender

From the article:

At least four prior arrests, "including multiple charges of battery, assault, and concealed-weapon violations"

Which the county attorney also ignored, claiming Gardner didn't have a record.

Don Kleine should be forced to resign.

20. What else would you expect from a coward like Gardner? nt

10. It's doubtful his conscience got the best of him, Trumpers don't have consciences.

11. Jr. has gained a lot of weight since that picture

[Judi Lynn]

12. For sure, he has. He was much slimmer then. Looks as if he's headed in his dad's direction!

Welcome to D.U., DaisyTom.

13. OMG MY EYES

THAT PICTURE SHOULD COME WITH A WARNING

[JI7]

14. And he regularly attacks other people(especially women) on their physical appearances

[llashram]

18. best thing possible

is me knowing he won't be wasting oxygen that's badly needed on this planet because of the destruction of our rainforests by greedy shortsighted individuals.

19. So long, asshole n/m
