Let’s say that the jury heard testimony about all the bad things that Harris did in her life time. Would that have made a difference as far as the verdict is concerned?
Maybe and maybe not.
“Maybe” because no one wants the bad guy to win and the good guy to lose.
“ Maybe not” because it appears that Bird admitted to the police that he did have a gun and did something with it during the confrontation with Harris.
IMHO I think if we could read the police report it would help us understand how Bird was convicted of felony criminal threatening.
I think that if it was just a matter of he said she said, Mr. Bird would not be in jail right now.
