The nation is reeling today after a Texas jury ruled that you cannot stab someone in the heart for no reason at all.
The case involved a defendant who took out a knife from his bag and stabbed a random victim in the heart for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Legal experts and the public have been unsure of what the outcome of the case would be, but the jury in the Collin County District Courtroom delivered a unanimous guilty verdict on the charge of first-degree murder.
The defense attorney for the now convicted heart stabber made this statement today following the verdict.
"My client is black!"
And now we go to BBN legal correspondent Anthony Pataki, reacting to the surprising decision. Anthony.
Thanks, Bob.
Honestly, we didn't know which way this case would go. With today's activist judges, you can do all sorts of violent things in America and get away with it normally.
This was a surprising outcome.
The court case is a real wake-up call to people carrying knives all across this country.
So you have the normal expectation that they can stab anybody that they like and get no consequences for it. The people I've talked to out here, they seem really shocked by this case. Back to you in the studio, Bob.
This verdict has left many wondering whether the ruling could set a dangerous precedent for criminalizing other random acts of violence, such as shooting people in the face for no reason.
What is this country coming to?
Coming up next, former President Barack Obama went on record to say if he had a son who had stabbed someone in the heart with a knife, he would look just like Karmelo Anthony....
