Sure, likely to end an avenue for an appeal. Manslaughter doesn’t fit elements of what happened. Manslaughter is an accident. There was not even any evidence brought by the defense or any claim that it was an accident. I guess the judge could have allowed a class C assault for an offensive contact as a lesser included crime.

After the 4th stab wound, then, and only then can it be considered murder.
-
The judge allowed the jury to consider manslaughter.
-
And Manslaughter doesn’t even fit the incident. They are used to other states and their various levels of murder. I have said it before, but under Texas law, to convict him of manslaughter would mean that it was an accident.

That has to be Porter and DCT on the right. Everything is seen through TDS tinted glasses!

Those knuckleheads on court TV keep repeating 'Wow"..... One said they were expecting manslaughter and the other because of the short deliberation thought he would be acquitted.....and that guy is making a fool of himself. Calls it dumb...... He said he only stabbed him once, it's not murder..... court tv is biased big time
-
Murder one! As they say in the movies.

Guilty of murder.... according to KHOU11

It appears that the verdict took less than 3 hours of deliberation, whatever that means.
-
The verdict is about to be announced….

Incoming freshman class looked pretty good at the Kountze Summer League. There's of course still plenty of rough edges, but they handled business. Good news is the one kid I was worried about leaving to play elsewhere appears to be staying put.

In 1982, there was a guy, maybe someone can identify him, I believe he passed away a long time ago. He drove a white Chevy step side single cab truck, had a gunrack in the back glass and had a shotgun on it 24/7. It was so common, no one said a word about it. Pocket knives, lighters and cigarettes were also carried back then, even underage, no significant problems for you if you didn't make a scene..... Another thing we used to get away with back then is leaving our open campus and going over to the Party Keg (Gulfway and Main) and buying a 6 pack, coming back to the parking lot by the band room and having 3 each before returning to school......we sometimes sat in lawn chairs behind our car....lol Never had a teacher walk out. So - different times
-
It was definitely a different time, but I can't remember a time I went to a track meet, football game, golf match or baseball game as a student athlete (yeah, I lettered in 4 sports 😎) without a pocket knife as a student athlete. Hell, I carried one to class, to student council meetings, to school dances. I was a teenage young man in Southeast Texas. I always had a knife on me. Lol.

Well when you spend 2 trillion dollars more than you take in as a government does it really matter. Why hasn’t Trump cut spending? Trump is no different than a Democrat when it comes to spending. Who cares if you get a raise if it’s eaten up by inflation. Our debt is the biggest threat to this country but they keep spending us into an oblivion.

I literally posted this above. Lol Thanks

Don't really know. Just know about the bigs. No idea about JV or JH's. Just impressive that BU could loose that much talent and still be favored over the team that went undefeated in district last year. I know West Brook lost some key pieces just expected them to be able to somewhat replace them. Will be interesting to see how it unfold over the next few months.
