Trooper in deadly Montgomery County shooting identified, but questions remain

[Kirk Freeman]

What are they going to do? Roll the car into the courtroom for the jury to examine?

Stop giving them ideas!

Wouldn't be the first time...

Wouldn't be the first time...

I said . . . stop helping!

I called the prosecutors office this morning. The lady who answers the phone said there should be an announcement on this case this week.

No criminal charges . . . https://fox59.com/2019/03/06/isp-tr...in-crawfordsville-wont-face-criminal-charges/

No charges after ISP trooper shot, killed Linden man working on car along US 231

So the trooper was working on his car and Mr. Rightsell offered to help, felt threatened, wait I have that backwards.

Mr. Rightsell is being held on $5,000,000 bond and has been hospitalized 5 times because he keeps falling down stairs.

The Grand Jury has issued an indictment for murder in the first degree, and the trial has been set for last week when he was convicted and sentenced to death in the electric chair while hanging by the neck in the gas chamber.

Had the roles been reversed, as sigblitz suggested.

 

[Sigblitz]

Seriously, he seemed like a great guy. Working on a car for somebody and shot by a green trooper. This will never set well with me. Not to downplay it, it's an unfortunate incident. Looks like we're moving on.

Does this mean the Trooper will be returning to duty... in the same area?

It depends.

He is back on full regular duty.

 

[Coach]

I guess the only surprise is that the announcement came today rather than Friday.

This sucks.

So the guy is working on his daughters broke down vehicle and called to inform LE that he would be and no one passed that on to the troopers on the road. Mr. Rightsell tells a nurse on his death bed twice that he does not know why he was shot. The video shows the gun still in the holster.

 

[HKUSP]

He is back on full regular duty.

Well that's ******* ******* super. I run that area. I wonder who I can call for backup if he decides to pull me over?

 

[NHT3]

This is beyond disturbing. Not sure what I expected but I expected more than "nothing to see here, move on".

Better bring your own video camera....

The least surprising news I've heard all day.

I don't think it's over from the way the article read. The lawyer for Rightsell's family talked about getting to the truth in the civil trial, and how the prosecutors hands were kind of tied in this finding.
