[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2436003, member: 1294"] Oklahoma pastor convicted of first degree manslaughter Pastor Michael Elder was convicted of first degree manslaughter shortly before midnight... Legal experts believe the jury’s decision might have been a compromise if they couldn’t all agree. They didn’t think the shooting was premeditated, but they also weren’t convinced Elder was afraid for his daughter’s life... On February 20th of last year, Elder fired three shots at Davidson, something consultant David McKenzie says could have been what sealed his fate. “Perhaps one shot was fine,” says McKenzie. “But the last two were excessive.” Elder claims the stories of alleged domestic abuse, Davidson’s alleged drug use and weapons in the form of tools at an arm’s length, all made him not want to take any chances. “That was his position on why he continued to fire at him,” says McKenzie. “I guess the jury must have seen it another way.” Prosecutors argued threatening text-messages and Facebook posts prove Elder acted out of anger and not fear when he shot Davidson. They also argued that Davidson was conveniently scary to April. The two had sex after she claimed he abused her... The jury suggested a sentence of 15 years for Pastor Elder...
