Lexington Kentucky man dies in hospital after brutal hatchet attack

Even thoiugh Daniel was only 15, he was adjudicated as an adult. He has emotional scars related to that incident and his family was crushed as well. How unlucky can he get you ask? How many drunk people think they're bulletproof and try to whip somebody's butt every day? How many guys would defend themselves when attacked by an unreasonable man with a deadly weapon? I think it's a crying shame that Chris died needlessly. I think it is equally tragic that Daniel has to endure the horror of taking another person's life to save his own.

He didn't take a life to save his own !! He murdered Chris plain and simple. He stated himself that he told Chris 4-5 times he was gonna hit him with the hatchet , in the the time it took him to repeat that statement 4-5 times he could have hit Chris in the foot, leg, arm etc. and left the property by foot or car. But he didn't he hit a man in the back of the head with a hatchet with the full intent of killing him. And they need to question the wife more , she definitely knows more than she has told.

I heard due to her trauma his wife is drawing a blank on the events that evening! And let's not forget she is the one who told media daniel split chris forehead open! Maybe its beTter she draws a blank.- her info isn't very accurate.

Does anyone know what happened on Loudon Ave. Saturday?

Geez this is terrible and incredibly hard to follow. It's like watching judge judy or something but with terrible and confusing spelling..

will yu all just please let him rest i mean really yu all do yu have nothing better to do then get on her and wrry bout our family grow up the sad part is most of yu all are prob his age and yes my mom is going thro it think about it what would be going thro yur head watchin yur husband get it wit a hatchet and i had just left and they was gettin along amazing he was daning to music wit he and showing his grand daughter and two of his youngest children! leave it alone yu all are not involved with this!!

I heard that Chris said, "I'm gonna kill you or you're gonna kill me." I don't know about you, but I would take that as a lethal threat from a drunk, beligerant and unreasonable man and do whatever I had to do to defend myself.

he never said that and if mr carter had time to say somethin three times he could have left and my seph dad was hit as he was walkin away! he crys self defences a lil much second man he has killed!

Well everyone is giving their opinion and views on here but does anyone actually have any info regarding if grand jury handed down an indictment? This is the first time I haven't seen the charges upgraded to murder instantly when the victim dies. Also the lawyer seemed very confident & sounded like a lot of witnesses - who were all these witnesses that spoke up on carters behalf?

Ok so is anyone going to explain how carter fits into this family? Longtime friend, coworker, cell mate, drug dealer or what? Did the family know about his violent past or do a backround check before inviting him on property in the vicinity of all these young children?

You're thinking like a girl. Women want to reason, women want to run away. Women don't think or act like men. You could never put yourself in Carter's shoes and think what he was thinking, feel what he was feeling. There's much more to this story than you know. It will all come out in due time.

what more is there? Have charges been dropped or upgraded yet? If carter isnt indicted - then he doing time for no reason just like he did when he was 15 he served 1.5yrs awaiting trial and charges were dismissed. Any updates to this story yet?

I hope the next update on the case will be the death penalty for the cold blooded killer!!! He could have left the property but he chose to kill !!!

I understand everyone is saying if he had time to warn verbally 3-4times then he had time to run... but if it was me...running away would never be a thought...i am not a good runner and i know i would be dead for sure if i tried. just another angle to think about.

he didnt have to run he could have chose to throw hand but no he chose to hit him i the head with a HATCHET! thats neither running or staying

Duh - when someone comes at you with a spear-like weapon you don't use your fists, you use whatever you can pick up to stop the attack before you yourself gets mortally wounded. BTW, does your computer have spell check?
