Stand Your Ground. Another stand your ground bites dust as a Louisiana jury convicts a road rage killer of ex -NFL Joe McKnight. I remember there was a lot of racial tension when this killing happened as the police chief went on a racist tantrum after getting criticized for not immediately arresting the killer Ronald Gasser. Defense in this case tried to use SYG but jury rejected it. Thank God.
Jury make up was 10 white people, (6 women, 4 men), one Black woman and one Hispanic woman. Most people expected Ronald Gasser to Walk. Manslaughter was one of the lesser charges. Original charge was second degree murder. Gasser had a history of violent road rage incidents. Glad he is off the street. He faces 40 years.
