Freed and then later killed …. California Man Freed In Error By Jury Is Stabbed To Death A defendant in a Central California burglary case walked out of a courtroom a free man after a jury mistakenly signed a not-guilty verdict form — only to be killed hours later. Via NY Post reports: The flabbergasted judge said Wednesday that he had no choice but to order defendant Bobby Lee Pearson to be released from jail because the not-guilty verdict had been put on the record, The Fresno Bee reported. After it was too late, jurors told the judge they were hung on the charges against Pearson. Prosecutors might have had an opportunity to retry Pearson in the case of a hung jury. “I can’t believe it,” Superior Court Judge W. Kent Hamlin said after he ordered Pearson to be set free. Hours later, Pearson was stabbed to death after going to a home to get some clothing and belongings, Fresno police Sgt. James Rios said. He apparently got into a fight early Thursday with his sister’s boyfriend, who Rios says then stabbed him. The two apparently had a long history of problems. The boyfriend’s name has not been released. Hamlin said Wednesday that he couldn’t change the verdict form because double jeopardy was already attached. “This has never happened to me in more than 100 jury trials that I have done,” he said. Pearson and two co-defendants were accused of burglarizing an apartment last year and stealing a video system and a gun. The homeowner allegedly caught the intruders and wrestled with one of them. Jurors returned a guilty verdict against Pearson’s co-defendant, Terrel Minniweather, and the mistaken not guilty verdict against Pearson before lunch Wednesday. Hamlin asked the jury whether that was in fact its verdict against Pearson, and all 12 nodded yes, the Bee reported. The jurors were then asked to return after lunch for a potential second phase of the trial. The confusion over the verdict against Pearson came to light during lunch, when one juror told court staff that he had voted to find Pearson guilty, said Linden Lindahl, an attorney for Minniweather. Jurors said they were confused by the forms, one of which was for a guilty verdict and the other for a not guilty verdict. One juror said there was no form they could sign that indicated the jury was deadlocked. Lindahl said he was surprised by the jury’s confusion, since the judge “did everything by the book.” Cold world!
Damn homie… Pro-Surfer & Aspiring Model Jill Hansen Arrested On Attempted Murder Of 73-Year-Old We’ve seen road rage get out of control…but what could this old woman have done on the road to piss her off this much??? Via RadarOnline : In a story that could be an episode of Hawaii Five-O, pro surfer Jill Hansen has been arrested and charged with attempted murder following a bizarre road rage incident in Honolulu. The sexy 30-year-old blonde, who sports a number of tattoos, had an exchange with 73-year-old Elizabeth Conklin somewhere on the city’s streets and then followed the senior citizen back to the condominium building where she lives in the Diamond Head neighborhood. After pulling into the building’s garage, Conklin got out of her car and Hansen ran her down, Conklin and an eyewitness told cops. Hansen then allegedly got out of her car, looked at her victim, jumped back into her vehicle and put it into reverse in an attempt to back over the seriously injured Conklin! Fortunately she was stopped by Good Samaritan Chris Khory, who works in the building. He grabbed a crowbar and smashed at Hansen’s car windows until she stopped and ran from the scene, he told the police. Hansen fled on foot, leaving her damaged car behind. Cops tracked her down and arrested her just a few hours later on Wednesday. The surfer, who also calls herself a model, is no stranger to the Honolulu police. She has a pending third degree assault case in an unrelated matter, and she’s been stopped three times for speeding since February, reports the MailOnline. Hansen is being held in lieu of $1 million bail, reports Hawaii News Now. Conklin remains hospitalized but is expected to fully recover from her injuries. People underestimate the capabilities of women who look like this, but looks like she’s a cold-blooded killer ! Guess you have to be careful who you cut off on the highway…
