How sad, and this young man will live with it for the rest of his life.
Should he be given a 1-15 year sentence, not at all. It was not premeditated or any reason for him to shoot a good friend and Brother.
The truth being, never point a weapon at anyone unless you want to use it!
Never assume a weapon is unloaded. Why is it the unloaded ones go off!
Being a Police Officer, it did not take me long to figure out that I had the power of God with a 357 weapon, life and death.
It is a heavy resposibility to carry on your hip.
