"Gust Petropoulous, a detective for the Milwaukee Police Department, testified Tuesday that the recording was retrieved from a private video surveillance camera at Spooner's home in the 1900 block of W. Arrow St."
I guess "old men" don't use cell phones, they use 24 hour security cameras. :facepalm:

"John Henry Spooner, 76, told a stunned courtroom Thursday that justice was served when he shot and killed his 13-year-old neighbor.
If his gun hadn't jammed, Spooner said, he would have shot Darius Simmons' brother, too.
(From that video, it looks like he brandished it at Darius' mom, too.)
"I wouldn't call it revenge; I would call it justice," Spooner said to audible gasps from the courtroom gallery, where Simmons' mother, Patricia Larry, sat watching with friends and religious leaders."
Guess MobeyDick was right about "old men" being "Honest". :rockon:
I'm keeping an eye out on my 64 year old BF. He did own a plane, and didn't renew his pilot's license this last go round. Hasn't been busted in a "No Fly Zone", but then this area is a free fly zone, Embry Riddle trains their flight students over our valley.(BTW: Background checks are only done if you are NOT a legal citizen) He doesn't enjoy me cranking up the heavy metal music while I do construction on the house. (He's total "white collar", wouldn't know how to frame out a window or hang sheetrock if his life depended on it)
He had a background check done in 2001 when he got his Az CCW. Doesn't need to renew it because you no longer need one in Arizona.
Oh cripes, he's a Viet Nam vet, and retired from Hughes Aircraft. :scared:
Just glad all the "lying punk teenagers" in this area have moved out of their folk's house to pursue college, jobs, or families. *MAJOR SARCASM* :facepalm:
