Robbery at Tru Prep thwarted by a familiar face.

Suspect is a well-known to local LE, repeat offender, who was already on probation at the time of the Great TruPrep Canik Caper.

I’m positive that she doesn’t have the personal funds to hire an attorney, so if anyone here knows a concerned attorney with a lot of free time on their hands, maybe they could volunteer their services to help the poor dear.


Hard pass !! 😬
 
And before a peanut gallery full of morons chimes in and says "well there won't be any lawsuit" and "I've heard of cases like this happening before and there was never a successful lawsuit over it"
let me point out that there are practical reasons why there may not ever be a lawsuit over a valid tort.

1-- the victim is NOT injured enough to make it a high dollar case worth a personal injury law from taking it on for a contingency fee... and the deadbeat criminal who was victimized by the excessive force doesn't have any money to pay a lawyer or pay costs of litigation, so a contingency deal is absolutely critical.

2-- the victim is so clearly in the wrong for stealing, a civil jury may disregard the law that says "don't beat up criminals" because they have no sympathy for a criminal.

3(a) --the excessive force victim may be a bad witness and a lousy litigant who is difficult to work with, tends to miss appointments with his or her lawyer, doesn't return phone calls, doesn't prepare for depositions, doesn't remember key details of the incident, and says stupid things that work to undermine his or her case.

(3)(b) the potential plaintiff/victim wants to get rich quick and turns down a lawyer's offer to represent him or her when the lawyer says "no, I can't get you $1 million in 60 days, but I might be able to get you $50,000 after two years of fighting and negotiating in and out of court!" So many people think that filing a lawsuit is effortless and the other side will just write a check and hand it over in a matter of weeks . The victim doesn't always have the guts or the fortitude to dig-in for a long haul of litigation.

4-- the victim leads of vagabond lifestyle and is very likely to drop off the radar and end up couch surfing with some distant acquaintance (or just sleeping under a bridge, homeless) on the other side of the country, with no notice to his or her lawyer, and no updated contact information.


5-- The victim isn't a member of some special minority group that is coddled by the media and which can draw support and money from so many civil rights organizations.
I can honestly say I don't envy your job. Just the thought of getting something wrong and putting a good man in a bad spot would weigh on my conscious so heavily I could never do something like that.
God be with you and aid you in your decisions. I will include you in my prayers my friend.
 
I have been a Use of Force Instructor for approximately 25 years. I don’t only teach LEO’s, but also regularly teach civilians on Use of Force matters. I’ve actually taught more civilians than I’ve taught LEO’s.

Additionally, I have investigated thousands of calls for service involving civilian use of force against another civilian. In essence, making a determination as to whether or not a civilian’s use of force was justified. Deciding whether criminal charges should be brought against them, as well as exactly what charge or charges fit the crime.

Several years ago, I was called in to testify as an Expert Witness in a case where a civilian used Deadly Force here in Georgia. I was interviewed in depth by the Superior Court, which determined me to be Subject Matter Expert (SME) in matters governing Use of Force. An SME is a person who possesses specialized knowledge or skills in a particular field or subject matter. In the legal context, SMEs are often called upon to provide expert opinions or testimony in court cases, or to advise attorneys on complex legal issues.

I’ve spent far more time inside a court of law, as well as on advisory boards, investigatory panels, and administrative counsels, dealing with Use of Force issues, policies, and implementation, than the part-time author and full-time liberal naysayer who is taking exception to my actions.
So, you're saying you'd call yourself as an expert witness, if you had to? :nerd:
