Indicted is not convicted. If he has a lawyer worth anything, this case will never be heard in New Hanover County. I highly doubt he will be convicted of this charge anywhere else, and if so, I see years and years of appeals at the taxpayers expense.
This suspect was being pursued by another officer. He was not shooting at innocent people, he had not just committed any heinous crime. He would not have been the first pot dealer to get away.
I feel sorry for Matthews family but to me this just does not justify a murder charge. We all have to show responsibility for our own lives.
