Man acquitted of stabbing by Portland jury — after victim said slur following the attack
- By BCP1928
Now all you have to do is show that the guy was paid by George Soros and your argument will be complete.The Oregon local paper makes mention of:
An Old Town stabbing case ended in defeat for Multnomah County prosecutors once jurors learned the wounded man had been videoed uttering a racist slur in the struggle’s aftermath.
Prosecutor Katherine Williams recounted the altercation differently, saying it was irrelevant what the wounded man said after the fact and that Edwards was always “in control” during the altercation.
“The defendant is not scared for his life. He didn’t retreat, he sauntered up — and he sauntered away after he stabbed someone,” Williams told the jury. “The defendant created the situation.”
Here's a non paywalled version of that article
Defense attorney Daniel Small said the most relevant evidence was recorded later, when security officers heard the wounded man shouting the racist slur and captured it on their body cameras as he described the incident.
That particular defendant also had 2 prior assault charges on his record, one of which was also for an erratic stabbing on a transit platform.
And even the dude's appointed defense attorney said that it was that it was the "most relevant evidence" that helped his case.
