Florida shooter charged with felony manslaughter
The Florida man who invoked the "stand your ground" self-defense law after shooting a black man in a dispute over a parking space was charged Monday with felony manslaughter.
Michael Drejka, 48, was arrested Monday morning in the fatal July shooting of Markeis McGlockton in Clearwater, Florida -- an incident that was caught on video which sparked an uproar after its release. Drejka was booked at the Pinellas County Jail and bond was set at $100,000. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Tuesday, at which time a judge will review his bond status and decide whether to appoint an attorney for Drejka, or if the defendant can afford to hire his own lawyer. If convicted, Drejka faces up to 30 years in prison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNIcBNkPPL0 I think a conviction will be tough with a 30 year sentence and the video clearly shows he didn't start to back off until he saw the gun. |
