From the details I’ve read, this case is very blurry. I mean the shooter testified that sheriff grabbed him by the throat and put a gun in his face.

That’s what I would say too

Is there not video of evidence from the gas station. Thats where the information should be from. I doubt many or if any stations do not have video surveillance because drive offs are a problem.

Sounds like the sheriff had a heavy hand but may have to in that environment.

Imo, it was some kids in a parking lot with the music up. Really no need for the guy to go hands on and start big boying folks.

That is the short and easy story but there is much more to it. I knew John in a professional sense from checking in with him when I was driving around the county working on the shoulder of half the county roads. He was nice and appreciated me checking in when I was there working. It saves time and questions.

I hav no clue

But is shooter gonna say - i shot him!!!?? He gonna most likely say what to skip jail - self defense and maybe it was. But it sounds like everybody really like and respected Big John - i did know that about the case. Hey u no - all of a sudden big John just turned into a cock sucker

Prob not - kid prob trying to save his backside

Whats that old joke - everybody is innocent in jail!! 🤣🤣🤣
Was not me boss man - i didnt do it!!! 😀

Maybe he did’nt - but i would side w dude w good name ifn i had to make choice

And he had no reason to lie either did he?

If the trigger puller knew he was the sheriff, there are no excuses to be made for him.

Want it said he did identify himself as the sheriff
Then again some gangbangers will yell police when they break in and rob other dealers

What was a kid that young doing with a pistol in the first place?

That has never been a question asked about this. Its Hayneville. It would be odd for a kid to not have a gun in his truck.

We are not the same~
