Now we have trial on the aggravating factor in #RichardChrisman
Huh, what's this? I didn't think this happens in such a case. Aggravated assault, aggravating factor? What does it all mean???

Yay! Aggravated is better than a walk! Prison for 5 to 15 will still take that confidence off his face.
I have to race to an appointment....looking forward to reading when I get back.

Yes, juror 1 said they could not uphold the jury decision (for futher deliberations) on count 2 so they were dismissed. Way to go JM.
I didn't know they could have an aggravation hearing for this count, but the judge said it was a non-probationary conviction so he will get some jail time.
I guess his Mom will testify? Get your Kleenex, everyone.

Aggravation phase is happening, aka sentence for the one charge they found him guilty of. Likely we will hear at another time whether JM will retry the other two charges or just one.
Extremely disappointed, but oh well....self-defense did NOT apply here. If they didn't want to vote M2 b/c they didn't "feel" or couldn't convict a cop, they can't do that....it has to be by the law. The law was that they had to believe in the Doctrine for Self-defense if they thought he was defending himself - this doctrine clearly states the defendant had to feel threatened by the potential use of DEADLY force by the victim.....Danny did not ever threaten with DEADLY force....the bike incident is FAKE/MADE-UP....for them to believe "deadly force" they would have to believe Chrisman felt threatened when Danny "picked" up the bike, which is not true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "defend or protect a/g another's potential use of DEADLY PHYSICAL FORCE'....a bike is not deadly nor did Danny ever threaten him with it or any other weapon.
Other area where they can use doctrine of self-defense if the suspect is attemting to escape iwth a deadly weapon (as in a gun which he would take out into public), escaping with a bike is NOT A DEADLY WEAPON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or attempting to commit a felony with a use of or threaten use of DEADLY WEAPON.....does not apply. Or Past or present conduct which is known by the plice officer as likely to INFLICT DANGER ON HUMAN LIFE....nope, doesn't apply.
I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE JURY"S NON-VERDICTS.

Interesting, a Blakely trial lets the jury decide the sentencing instead of the judge.......
www.azjusticeproject.org/Assets/Docs/Blakely.pdf‎
"Blakely deals with the right to have a jury and not the judge decide all facts
necessary for a sentence. If additional fact finding is necessary in order to sentence a
defendant above the presumptive sentence, that fact finding must be done by a jury. In
Arizona the sentencing laws have long allowed the judge and not the jury to find the
facts necessary to sentence an inmate to an aggravated sentence. Although Blakely was
not an Arizona case, it does seem clear that the Arizona sentencing laws violate the 6
necessary for a sentence. If additional fact finding is necessary in order to sentence a
defendant above the presumptive sentence, that fact finding must be done by a jury. In
Arizona the sentencing laws have long allowed the judge and not the jury to find the
facts necessary to sentence an inmate to an aggravated sentence. Although Blakely was
not an Arizona case, it does seem clear that the Arizona sentencing laws violate the 6
th
Amendment right to a jury trial with respect to finding the facts necessary to impose an
aggravated sentence or an enhanced sentence."www.azjusticeproject.org/Assets/Docs/Blakely.pdf‎
