more on shooting
"Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... "Calif Bill" wrote in message SNIP But is it a prosecutable case? If there were pigeons in the air, he could say he was shooting them, or starlings and the boat was just in the area. Bill Only if the DA is willing to put forth the effort. In this case, I guess not. -- Steve OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com The DA can prosecute, but he also looks at the chance of success. If there is a less than 70% chance he wins, he probably will not take the case to court. And with locals on the jury and possibility of the guy claiming he was shooting starlings, chances are very small for success. Looks bad on his record, the loses.

I think a lot would depend upon what is on the video tape.

Evidently, there was enough on tape that the police used the tape to make the arrest. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service http://www.herefishyfishy.com
