Shot while committing a crime, sounds like justified homicide to me. Sure it is only a radiator, but it was HIS radiator.

My sister was at the clinic when they came in, said they tried to save the baby, guess it didn't work, I really hate it for all the families, what sux is, it was over a car part. Was it made of Gold, must have been to want to kill for it, 2 people dead, 1 person going to prison. Dang shame, what's this world coming too.

This will be a interesting trial if they don't plead it down to voluntary msnslaughter or something. I don't blame the suspect if they were indeed stealing his property.

Not just guessing cause I do have many sources...but they musta really needed that radiator to take the 14 month old along with the mother to be. It's a shame.

OK let me kill you daughter and grandchild and see how you feel then. Over a something she may or may not have know what was going on. She may be gone but her family and kids are still here please have some compassion.

a PREGNANT WOMAN, 8 MONTHS, driving a car commiting a robery?

How could she put her child in this situation...the one she was carrying as well as the 14 month old in the car?

Good Lord, what was she thinking and what kind of a life was she providing for the children in the first place....don't believe in judging, but I would hate to be facing my judgement after putting my children in such risk in the first place!

That's just totaly WRONG!
The man was just protecting his personal property. I guess he should have asked before he shot at the people who were stealing from him.

i am very sorry for the loss of life but life but if someone was trying to steal my personal property i would shoot at them too. The shooter probabley never expected a pregnant women and a child to be in the car. im sure if he knew he would have thought twice. manslaghter at most!

She was driving the car that committed a robbery!! I can't imagine putting your own child in that kind of situation. I know some people may say it was just a radiator, but maybe that was his only way to get to work, doctor etc. This is a no win situation

Sorry for your loss, IHSP.
Whether she knew it not, she was the get away driver. It may be a low class heist, attempting to steal a radiator, but the general public is sick and tired of people stealing from them, instead of working to buy what they "want".
This man was protecting his property, the outcome was unfortunate. Those that 'should be' charged, are the other "adults" that were in the car with her, attempting to commit the theft.

If they charge this man they are taking away the right to protect your own property, while giving the criminals more rights.
