发帖数: 2047 | 1 Ronald Thompson case
Ronald Thompson is a 100% disabled veteran who spent 14 years in the Army (
1966-1980). After his service, Thompson remained active in veterans’
affairs. In addition to acting as a Deputy Representative for AMVETS,
Thompson accumulated 5,532 hours volunteering at the VA hospital in Lake
City, Florida, primarily acting as recreational therapy coordinator at the
VA’s nursing home.
Thompson was 62-years-old in September 2009 when he visited a friend of his,
an elderly woman in Keystone Heights, Florida, at the woman’s daughter’s
home. During his visit, his friend’s 17-year-old grandson, who had been
violent toward her in the past, came by with three friends, and wanted to go
into his mother’s home. Having been instructed by her daughter not to let
him into the house, Thompson’s friend refused them entry. Her grandson
began yelling and cursing at his grandmother. Events escalated to the point
where Mr. Thompson felt his friend was in danger. He grabbed his pistol (for
which he had a conceal-carry license) and fired two warning shots into the
ground to scare off the 17-year-old.
Corey prosecuted Thompson for aggravated assault, and after he refused a
plea agreement with a three-year prison sentence, won a conviction that
would carry a mandatory 20-year sentence under Florida's 10-20-Life statute.
The trial judge, Fourth Circuit Judge John Skinner called the 20-year
sentence "a crime in itself" and declared the 10-20-Life statute
unconstitutional. Skinner gave Thompson three years instead.
Corey appealed the 3-year sentence and won, sending Thompson to prison for
20 years.
In June 2012, Fourth Circuit Judge Don Lester granted Thompson a new trial,
ruling that the jury instructions had been flawed in his original trial
regarding the justifiable use of deadly or non-deadly force given the
circumstances of the case.Thompson has been freed and awaits a decision by
Corey's office on a new trial. | l******a

发帖数: 5469 | 6 我看到过这样的说法：如果鸣枪警告，控方可能会以威胁不够大（因为还有时间选
择并给警告而不是直接打）却使用致命武力为由找麻烦。所以出枪的话不要鸣枪警告或
打非致命部位，即使做了也不要说成是这样，而是说太紧张没打中致命部位。

If Mr.Thompson drew his concealed pistol, he better neutralized the threat.
Mr. Thompson should have learned that in his CHL class.
If Mr.Thompson deserves a new trail and new sentence, it is another story.
As for if 10-20 law is constitutional, it is another story. | a*********a

that.
firing warning shots is a different school of thought, and could be useful
in battlefields.
