laura bush - VEHICULAR HOMICIDE - 26 Aug 2005 16:52 GMT
I can see hit-and-run but manslaughter is a stretch here. Is the state
claiming that the driver should have foreseen the station owner would
jump on the car and then fall off and be killed?  BTW -  Driver has a
rap sheet about as bad as President Bush's.

Hit-and-run suspect arrested for slaying

By Mark Harrison
The Times-Journal

Published August 26, 2005

An Ider man, claiming his conscience had been bothering him, turned
himself in to Fort Payne police Thursday morning as the driver of the
vehicle involved in the Aug. 19 hit-and-run death of a Fort Payne gas
station owner

Police arrested Alvin Dwight Benefield, 42, and charged him with
manslaughter in connection with the death of Husain “Tony” Caddi, who
owned and operated the Texaco station on the north side of Fort Payne.

Benefield is also charged with third-degree theft of property for
allegedly leaving Caddi’s service station without paying for $52 in
gas.

Caddi, the only person on duty at the Texaco at the time, ran out of
the station and tried to stop Benefield from leaving.

Eyewitnesses told police Caddi grabbed onto Benefield’s vehicle – a
light brown, 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee – but slipped and fell, at which
time the Cherokee allegedly ran over Caddi, causing a severe head
injury.

(snip)

Benefield told police he had stolen the $52 in gas simply because he
didn’t have the money to pay for it at the time, Grant said.

Benefield also told police he knew Caddi had fallen while trying to
stop the Jeep, but said he didn’t realize the extent of Caddi’s
injuries, Grant said.

Benefield claimed, despite intensive news coverage, he did not realize
Caddi had died until Tuesday, when he read an article about the
incident in the Times-Journal, Grant said.

(snip)

Records on file at the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department show
Benefield had a prior criminal record, and past charges include DUI,
parole violation and speeding.

Sounds like the guy admitted seeing the victim run towards his vehicle
trying to stop him.  If someone is running towards your vehicle, and you
know they are going to try to grab open a door, it's reasonable to foresee
that speeding forward once the person is next to the vehicle could result in
serious injury.

And it's more of your nuttiness to compare this guy's crimes to our
President's.  Alvin Benefield has, as far as we know, only killed one
person.

I referred to bush's rap sheet. So far he has not been actually
convicted of any of his obvious war crimes.
Billy - 26 Aug 2005 19:36 GMT
He did not have to foresee anything, for one, manslaughter by definition
means without intent, and two, he could have been charged with 2nd degree
murder because he had intentions of stealing and that intent is carried onto
everything that can be related to the commission of his crime.

 Anytime someone dies during the course of a felony, the death becomes
a felony death. Does not matter if it was an accident, or who caused the
death.  If it came to pass as a result of the felonious act, then it
counts as felony murder. This guy is getting off easy.

I don't think the theft of $52 in gasoline is a felony. He is, however,
getting off easy. His intent was to steal and he killed a man in doing
so.

Bush should  at least get charged as  as co-conspirator.

And that just might be the incident that finally would get him
impeached.

Misdemeanor theft probably doesn't trigger that; only certain felonies.

In PA, the felonies which trigger the felony murder rule are listed in
the statute; hit and run isn't among them I don't think.  Furthermore,
since the felony of hit and run (leaving the scene of a personal
injury accident or some such thing) happens after the collision, it
would be a bit strange to transfer the intent backward in time.
Though that wouldn't necessarily stop the courts if they really wanted
to get someone.

If you use force to escape, it becomes a felony.  There's a fellow serving
25 to life in California on a three strikes sentence.  One of his felonies
was a shoplifting where a security guard tried to stop him, and he shoved
the guy out of the way.  Another of the three was a shoplifting where he
jumped in to an accomplice's car to get away, and the accomplice drove over
someone's foot.

If you are going to quote someone, do so accurately.  I said "bandy
words".  I did not say "trading words" as you would imply.

Apparently, you misunderstand my meaning of "bandy words".  I will not
bother to explain.

"To give and receive (words, for example); exchange"

Sounds like "trading words" is pretty accurate.  So while I may have
technically misquoted, the meaning is the same.  You said you wouldn't
exchange words with the guy, just as you were doing exactly that.

Makes you look like an idiot to declare you won't do something *while*

Hahahahah!!! You make me laugh, "Ass-wipes" like me are HONEST, hard-working
American Veterans. I come from a long line of vets who have served in WWI
and II. So you know what muther f.cker? My opinion actually MEANS something
in this country, not like you, who sits back and defends the Chicken-Hawk,
spineless, faggot liar named Bush, and his Chicken-Hawk regime. I mean,
DAMN, don't you see the irony of this chicken-hawk faggot going on about how
it is such a great thing going to war with Iraq, killing thousands of
innocent women and children, and he just acts like he is such a warrior,
hahah BIG BAD W, he SAVED them POOR IRAQI'S from tyranny! LOL, if I had the
chance, I wish I could get his a.s in a boxing ring, just me and the
chicken-hawk. And you know what else muther f.cker? If I did steal at least
I would admit it, not LIE about it like W. did, the biggest liar in the
world right about now (well maybe his he-bitch Blair is a bigger liar). You
ever see that movie Rosemary's Baby? Well now I think I know who the baby
is, good ole George Dubbaya, whose wife actually got away with murder. And I
thought the royal family was a bunch of inbred Neanderthals...what a circus.
You see, if W. had any spine at all, he should of just said it like it was
like this, "Well y'know, hyuk hyuk, me and my administration are gonna take
out Saddam because we don't like him, then we're going to take over the oil
in that country and make it ours. Hyuk Hyuk!!! And I know most of the
hijackers came from SAUDI ARABIA, but we'll just go blow some sh.t up in
Afghanistan, because if I quit sucking my SAUDI BOYFRIEND'S DICK, the
saudi's might not like me anymore!! Hyuk Hyuk, and then we are going to suck
some mean corporate dick!!!" See? Wouldn't that be easier? Then we could
actually kind of respect the guy because he tried to be honest at least. But
no, he lied to cover a lie which covered another lie, HAHAHAHA, his whole
life is a f.cking LIE!!! The W admin should just do us all a favor and
commit suicide.

I hope you aren't implying that unless one served in the military,
their opinion means nothing?  If so, I would have to disagree.
Although, I would agree that Billy's opinion is worthless.  Billy is an
Amoral ass-wipe.

I agree with your opinion of Bush 100%.  Bush is a Lying scum bag, and
should be tried for treason, then hanged by his neck from a hemp rope
from a tree on the White House lawn, and his bones left to bleach in
the sun as an example to following Presidents.

I'd be there cheering you on.  Then, we'll have that trial I spoke of
above.

I'd hate to have to think I'd have to resort to theft to survive.  But,
if society has sunk to such a condition that otherwise honest hard
working people did have to resort to theft to survive, it could be
arguied that society has broken their promise, and that individuals can
no longer be held to any promise not to steal from that society.  That
is, after all, the purpose of society, to help insure mutual survival.

I have always said, my ONLY responsibility to society is to honor and
respect the Rights of others as I would expect them to honor and
respect my own Rights.  When society doesn't hold up their end of this
promise, all bets are off.

> You ever see that movie Rosemary's Baby? Well now I think I know who the

I'm not familiar with this.  Can you elaborate?

Otherwise, Mr. Host, I must say I agree with you completely concerning
that Lying sack of sh.t named Bush.  This nation may never recover from
the abominations perpetrated in his name.  Unless the citizens of this
nation WAKE UP and hang this mother f.cking abomination from hell for
the murderous traitor he is, the rest of the world will never trust us
ever again.  And, frankly, I don't think I could blame them.

That wouldn't be a "hit and run", to "hit and run" you actually have
to hit something with your vehicle, like another vehicle or a person.
A lake bed doesn't count.

You f.cking criminal coddler!

Here's a guy that REALLY killed someone, instead of your lunatic
fantasy "all speeders are killers" rhetoric, and you think the charge
is too severe.

Yes.  When you steal, having the proprieter try to stop you is very
forseeable.  If you had more than half a brain and used more than 1% of
what you do have, you would realize that.
