GUILTY GA v Hannah Payne - HP allegedly murdering a man involved in a hit-and-run in 2019

[iusedtofloat]

With the things the original judge said about the lawyer, even suggesting Hannah get a new one... Do you feel this may be grounds for an appeal based on ineffective counsel?

I'm looking at the interrogation video...

--she had only owned the gun a couple of weeks
--she bought it herself
--when asked how long she'd had the gun, she said something like, "not long enough"
--there was no formal training, but she'd been to the gun range; been around guns her whole life
--Herring kept trying to open the car door to get out, and she put her knee into it, so he couldn't, saying "you can't get out"
--throughout this whole thing, she speaks matter of factly, and as though she's expecting profuse praise from the detectives. She's soooo pleased with herself, it's sickening.

Chilling.

so weird, she screams "get out m******advertiser censored****!" and then puts her knee into his door so he is trapped?! this girl don't have all the lights on upstairs

KENNETH HERRING is the man she was CONVICTED of KILLING.

Just want to keep his name out there. Hers is everywhere.

She got 8 years for the false imprisonment charge, so I guess putting her knee in the door (and thinking this was heroic, it seems) didn't work out so well for her.

But just seeing in the interrogation video and on the stand how pleased she is with herself is very unnerving.

very high potential Hannah could be nice to her neighbors, and have a dangerous savior complex.

Very well said and in my opinion, very accurate. Your observation could well be a pattern with vigilantes.

Recent cases of convicted vigilantes featured wanna 'be "good guys with steely eyes" asserting themselves as the protector of handicapped parking spaces, of public decency, and neighborhood security.

In all cases, the perpetrators had ordinary lives and ordinary professions prior to the vigilante murder (mechanics, tree trimmer, railroad, real estate- but not really, and a retired Police officer who was more of a balliff than a patrol officer).

Yet, as you stated, they also could well of had a hidden desire to be something greater than themselves. They then lose control of a situation that spirals out of control.
