This sounds a little fishy to me, what do you think?
Notice anything unusual about the report below?
On the face of it, just based on the paragraph below, the follow observations came to mind:
- Beauty Queen
- "two-timing boyfriend" not her husband
- she was obviously carrying a gun, maybe she always does. or just when visiting ‘other’ women?
- admitted she shot him
- apparently? sought out and went to the other woman’s residence
- she "thought" he was reaching for a gun
- jury made up of three times as many women as men
- only deliberated 9+ hours over a murder
Yahoo! News - Ga. Beauty Queen Acquitted of Murder
By RUSS BYNUM, Associated Press Writer
SAVANNAH, Ga. - A beauty queen who shot and killed her two-timing boyfriend was acquitted of murder Wednesday after claiming she acted in self-defense.
Sharron Nicole Redmond admitted shooting her boyfriend outside the home of another woman he was dating, but said she thought he was reaching for a gun. He did not have a weapon.
Redmond, 23, had faced an automatic life sentence if convicted of Kevin Shorter’s 2003 slaying. Four months earlier she had been crowned Miss Savannah.
The jury of nine women and three men deliberated for just over nine hours.
Redmond gasped and sobbed as she heard the verdict.
