An Alabama The judge has ruled on Monday that the police officer had not proved in self-defense when he shot the armed black man, after ordering an officer, and the police officer shot for less than two seconds after being identified as law enforcement.
Mac Marquette, 25, charged with murder in Steve Perkins Fatal Shooting, 29. September 29, 2023. year, while following the driver of a traction truck for the perkins truck in his home Decatur.
Judge Circle in the district Morgan Charles Elliott denied Marquette’s request to reject the case in the immunity self-defense hearing. The new trial date was set up for June, but the Defense may appeal Eliotta’s decision with the State Appellate Court.
Alabama ‘Stand your SMO “Law of Maja immunity from prosecution towards any individual who uses deadly force as long as they are in a place they have the right to be in danger and reasonably believes they are in danger.
Elliott wrote that the jury will have to consider whether Marquette “behaved in his capacity as a police officer” when he shot at Perkins.
“It’s on this wrist that the door of this case swing,” he said.
The Traction Truck Driver approved the Perkins’ Retor for Return of Trucks because PERKINS was the months standing on their payments, the evidence of lien. But the verdict said that Marquette was not authorized to help the bellows on the law of Alabama, which requires a court order for the law enforcement to intervene in return in return.
The judge heard conflicting testimony in a more expensive discussion about why Marquette and two more officers, Joey Williams and Christopher, were in the Perkins house in the first place.
Marquette, Mukadam and Williams were shipped to comb after the perkins pointed to the chest gun when the driver of the towing truck tried to take the Perkins’ vehicle for the first time, according to Williams and Mukadam. The combs met by officials in a nearby towel.
The combs were waiting for three officers to put covert with the Perkins’ house before the perkins were on the second time. All the three officers were on the front door of Perkins, when the beads came out of his house with a gun, pointing to the combs.
The camera recordings have found that Marquette threw all bullets in the gun less than two seconds after it appeared from where he was hiding on the Perkins’ side. Even then, the referee wrote, Marquette partially interfered with the Bed Perkins’s truck. Perkins turned toward Marquette and have tried shortly to move the gun from the officer before Marquette started filming, towards Elliott.
Before the comb back in the Perkins’ house, they said that the officers were to tell Czechs “that he could take whatever he wanted to help him return laws, but that cannot be implementing laws without court proceedings.”
Both officials who were with Marquette testified that they were there to “keep peace” and “investigate” Punk’s withdrawal on the combs, which could be an offense violation if he was combing for pressure on the billing.
The State Agent researched the case testified that it was a standard practice for officials to follow people to help maintain orders. But he also said that it is usually “visibility” needed to maintain peace, and that the way the officers have set up “unusual” because it is commonly used for the active crime scene “for the active crime scene. “
Since there was no scene for active crimes when the officers arrived, Elliott judged that Marquette “acted out of his authority” to investigate the threatening quote “when he was breached” when he was waiting outside the house of Perkins.
Elliott said that the jury would have to decide whether Marquette was in the Perkins house to keep peace.
Based on that decision, the ruling reading, the jury will have to decide whether that means that Marquette seems to be part of his responsibilities as a police officer, and whether the “reasonable” officer killed in the same situation killed.
