@Erik Howlett Please post your final verdict/ruling and reasoning in this docket!

Erik Howlett

The defendant tried to say, "I ran because I was scared," but I was scared is a classic defense against police, and it doesn't work. Did they think the Deputy was chasing after him with lights and sirens, along with all those other Deputies to come and shoot him? That isn't a conclusion a reasonable person would come to. That is not reasonable doubt. Furthermore, when asked on the stand about being cuffed, the defendant said they were never cuffed. But during officer testimony, it was stated they attempted to cuff them multiple times, and there is a picture in evidence of the defendant in cuffs! So I will also be finding them guilty of Perjury.
