I think he gets off (on the murder).
With that new video angle surfacing, it’s a good self defense of others case.
That’s what I was thinking the other day. I was reading up on this and watching a few vids. (No disrespect to the dead) but I have to say that’s a legal strategy and grounds for an acquittal depending on how the case is prosecuted. Based on witness on the scene accounts, the video angles, the lawyer could say that Von and his team were the aggressors based on the footage. Defense lawyer could argue as a causal reaction - Von ran up on Quando (that’s his name?) first, multiple people followed Von to jump dude. The shooter approached sees his man on the ground and fired shots. If Quando attests to the shooter being part of his “security” or bodyguard team (under the table, on books or not); arguing the fact that Quando’s friend had the 1) mental frame of mind that was his duty and obligation to protect his life. 2) Further evidence are the club undercovers (police) shot the other 2 men on Von’s team (rip) meaning that there was just cause to fire shots especially if Von’s dude were carrying and had guns on them. They were following through on a threat. 3) Based on Von’s reputation and pending attempted murder charge for which he was an accomplice. His own social media history could be called into account. 4) Lastly, this wasn’t planned or premeditated, no history of prior confrontation or altercations. Von’s shooter could possibly beat trial on the murder charge. Strictly from a legal perspective/factors based on what I’ve looked into. If the Prosecutor low levels to 2nd degree, manslaughter, involuntary homicide, assault with a deadly remains to be seen, that may give the jury more leverage or if he has a pd/court appointed who will advise him to plead out. If he has a paid lawyer who actually cares about outcomes - that’s the route I see it going. I’m not in criminal division but that’s my take.
From a street perspective, you see your man on the ground getting rushed, you know the other squad is a group of hitters and are heavy on it- are you just going to let your friend be outnumbered and gunned down?? He doesn’t know their intentions. When shyt is hot, it’s just hot. Not trying to take this light or devalue anyone’s life here but Quando’s shooter did what he was supposed to do; protect and look out for his friend. He came out in the midst of all the fighting, there was already a conflict and tension from the environment. The situation is over in a few seconds, Quando’s friend is thinking they’re trying to kill him - what’s the alternative? They had guns, he had guns and fate took over from there. Now unless there’s other evidence that points toward a set up or malice aforethought- this is not an open and shyt murder case. Unlike other high profile rapper murder cases like Pop Smoke or Duck, this wasn’t just a squad spinning the block or conspiring to kill and plan the execution. Another similar case is Bankroll Fresh- the footage is almost similar and the shooter beat those charges. Another drill rapper 22gz beat a case.
