Could someone please explain to me how the fuck do you kill someone, even if it’s manslaughter, and not get tried over it?
Grand jury, not regular jury, which likely consists of rich white men that’s a holdover from Jim crow. Prosecutors who agree with the defendent and intentionally try for charges they know won’t stay. Texas.
No, I’m serious, please eli5… Where I’m from, murder + suspect = a trial…
Because it’s okay, he still has 2 more daughters 👍
the lightest charge, wrongful death, is civil. not criminal
Let’s see if I got this right. He gets into an argument with his daughter where he says he doesn’t care if Donald Trump were to rape her because he has two more daughters. There is obviously no coming back from thinking let alone saying such a thing.
The next day he downs a bottle of wine and invites his daughter to his room right before she leaves back to England. In the room he claims she says she wants to see his handgun. As he pulls it out of the drawer it just happens to go off and also just happens to be aimed right at her.
Yeah, dude couldn’t let her live after what he had told her, it is pretty obvious. He tricks her to coming into his room where there is no witness and silences her forever.
A woman His daughter.
But that’s murder! If there’s one crime I thought could always rely on to be punished, it’s murder
You should look more to who runs the justice department rather than the nature of the crime. We are not all the same.
But that’s murder!
Guy was showing off his Glock during a family get together and the gun discharged because he didn’t know how to handle it properly.
GJ chose not to indict on the charges the DA tried to bring.
What is that title? “Man who shot British woman”?? Isn’t it a lot more interesting to say “Man who shot his own daughter”? Their relationship seems far more interesting and relevant to the situation than her country of origin, wtf is this journalism? Or am I missing something?
Because a) It’s now an international incident, and b) the source is BBC.
Ah, I see part of the issue. OP is a butt for removing the familial link in their title. The BBC headline is more accurate.
Oh my bad, I assumed that the title matched the article, as that is a common rule in a lot of news communities.

they gotta soften it SOMEHOW!
Have they at least taken his guns away since he’s clearly not responsible enough to own them? Oh wait, I forgot it was Texas for a second.
That guy’s neighbours need to chip-in for a billboard. Just with her face.
Okay. Maybe a “no justice no peace” in small print.
Yeah Texas is full of trumpers top to bottom. Those of us with actual brains have to fly low or risk decapitation by the jihadi emulators behind the badges
USA failed state
