David Barajas is on trial in Brazoria County, accused of shooting and killing Jose Banda in a fit of rage.


Barajas' sons, 11 and 12 years old, were pushing their family's car after it broke down when Banda's vehicle hit and killed them.

If convicted, Barajas faces life in prison

[D1B]

Justified.

Justified

[D1B]

BTW, odds are those two boys were pushing a Ford.

[CAA Flagship]

Depends on what he was drunk on. Craft Beer? Yes, justified.

[Grizalltheway]

Depends on what he was drunk on. Craft Beer? Yes, justified.

He'd be smart enought not to D&D if he were drinking craft beer.

Oh, fer sure. Oh, and this: Throw the fucking book at him.

This ain't the wild West, where we get to mete out our own form of "justice".

If it IS, then I've got a fucking LIST of people I'm gonna start on...

AGREE, but...

Key term: "in a fit of rage." AKA temp insanity.

Some drunk knocks out both your kids, you go berserk and shoot him the head with your Derringer. Do you think you should have to spend the rest of your life in prison?

Slap on the wrist.

But if that driver were sober everybody would still be alive in this situation...



and you are more likely to be killed by a sober driver because there are no less than 150 million vehicles on the road driving every day... and only a tiny percentage are driving drunk

[Ivytalk]

He'll probably do some time. In Delaware, due to the emotional distress involved, it would likely be a manslaughter rap.

[andy7171]

I would have done the same. I don't have a gun, so it would have been messier.

[CAA Flagship]

I don't know if I would have killed him but that SOB would certainly have the marks of a 3-iron all over his legs.











And yes kalm, I have that shot.

Acquitted

A jury on Wednesday acquitted a southeast Texas man of murder in the fatal shooting of a drunken driver who had just caused an accident that killed the man's two sons.





David Barajas cried after the verdict was read and he hugged his wife, Cindy, who was also crying. He could have been sentenced to up to life in prison, if he had been convicted.

[Grizalltheway]

If the victim's a prick, you must acquit.

3 iron? What is this, 1990?

Maybe the gun instructor's father will hunt down the 9 year old girl and put a bullet in her head.

His daughters nightmares will suffice. This story is a sad sad one.

Holds up better than a hybrid when hitting kneecaps. Remember, I'm Italian. I know.
