again... totally agree that Ersland has a BIG mouth and in no way am I defending his actions.
but doesn't change the facts on the ground. which is thug never moved again after hitting deck.
it's impossible to nail down time of death within 30 seconds. so ME's statement he was alive has to be bogus.
heat beating or not beating... involuntary muscle movements can include heart... back to the fact it's impossible to nail down time of death within 30 seconds.
no matter how you slice it or dice it.... according to forensic evidence there's a reasonable doubt thug was alive or dead at time of additional five shots. NO one knows ... the only evidence that is for sure is thug never moved again. that points to he was already dead when he hit the deck.
I don't think that you understand Ersland's defense, for his case to hold water he had to agree with the ME that the kid was not dead at the time the last 5 shots were fired. Had he STFU from the beginning he could have just said "wow, I don't remember doing that" it could have been written off has a heat of battle action, but Ersland is such an attention hound that he wouldn't STFU. We can think the conviction is an injustice all we want, but it's Ersland's own words that convicted him.
If you ever have to shoot someone remember this "STFU".
