San Francisco jury deadlocks in trial over murdered gay photographer

Ed French, a 71 San Francisco photographer, was murdered at Twin Peaks park. French was killed in broad daylight and was defensless. Fantasy Decuir and Lamonte Mims robbed French of his camera and then killed him.

Defense attorneys claimed Decuir was undergoing a "sickle cell crisis" and both were experiencing opiod withdrawal and could not be held responsible for their actions that day. The pair had been robbing tourists that month they killed French.

The jury deadlocked on the murder charges after several days of deliberating.

R3 is a moron.

Like OP who linked to a right-wing site.

SF averages about 40 murders a year. Hardly a lot for a city with over 800,000 people

You guys don't recognize right-wing propaganda when you see it?

Of course this is San Francisco.

Old white gay men are expendable, sadly.

No, but I don't spend my days and nights routing it out the way you do.

It's more like the San Francisco jury "dreadlocks" in trial.

Blacks are only 6% of the population in SF. They have to let a few stay out of prison.

R12 What % of crime are they responsible for?

The murder happened in 2017 and they still haven’t received just punishment even though there is zero doubt they did it. The victim’s partner has been to over 80 court appearances over six fucking years; that poor man. Unimaginable.

I wish I hadn’t read the article.

It's so performative. If any of these jurors knew the deceased they'd vote to hang. I'm sure the jurors have been salivating over how they can monetize the experience.

The jurors are probably self-hating white liberals.

The DA over-charged these defendants; should have gone with Manslaughter rather than murder. Oh well . . .

In case you needed just one more example of what a third world shit hole San Francisco has become.
