Man arrested in 'Call of Duty' 'swatting' hoax that led to fatal police shooting

[Libertarian01]

For the lawyers out here. Will this preexisting information regarding threatening grandma and other alleged data be more likely or less likely to impact any judicial ruling(s) regarding this swatting case? Or will it be totally inadmissible as it never went anywhere due to grandma's failure to show up?

Regards,

Lawyer answer: it depends.

Generally, prior bad acts aren't admissible to show the accused is a bad person who commits bad acts. Presumption of innocence and all that.

In limited situations, though, certain information can be made known.

So, it depends.

But I thought Wichita was far from the opera for evermore and with straw to work while you sweat out of every pore.

Weren't you a lineman for the county????

Yeah, it depends. It's makes for fun in the investigation phase. At trial, more dicey. As T.Lex said, generally, prior bad acts (even convictions) are not admissible as "body of work" evidence. Convictions can be admissible under certain circumstances if the guy testifies.

A rhetorical question would be: how good is the prosecutor at baiting the defense attorney into opening the door (it's an art form)?

For pretrial detention and probably sentencing- relevant.

If it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain.

Good news though, I hear you singing in the wires.

No.....You have got to help...Because you see I've been walking these streets alone...Singing the same old song...I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway.....

I dream of the things I'll do with a subway token and dollar tucked inside my shoe.

And as we break out into song........

I dream of the things I'll do with a subway token and dollar tucked inside my shoe.

And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain...There's been a load of compromising...On the road to my horizon....

I'm gonna be where the lights, are shining on me!

I can only hope that a 4 year member with 4 posts is lurking....

He still won't get it.

Wow! I came here to read about a swatting and ended up in a conversation about church's testicles that ended with a musical dance routine....

Only on INGO...
