This is so sad, no one is equipped to trust a stranger. We are groomed for stranger/danger and especially woman! Yes his girlfriend may have over reacted but within reason of the world we live in. It's the boyfriend that took that to a new level. Was it self defense, to some degree. An unawareness of aggressive stance existed here. It was a threatening unknown to be explored by her boyfriend. Unlikely that fell in the category of him being jealous. We have cameras on every walk we take. Why? It's because we don't trust our own society we live among. Our culture doesn't allow us to act differently from what we all set as the normal. This guy walked in and invaded her space in a creepy way. Was it normal not really. He bylined right to her. Calculate that timing,, it looks awful fast. Enough to have a young woman repeat that exchange in a negative light to her boyfriend. Reminds me of the creepy movie "The Vanishing" 1993 in the reverse. it didn't go that way with her, but who knows in this world. Any threats we perceive verbal or physical. Are usually met with some defense. This is all very sad. We all need to keep aware of our surroundings, but live without fear!

HOW STUPID THIS IS ALL OVER NOTHING!
THIS IS NOT SELF DEFENSE! HE WENT TO THE GUY'S HOUSE LOOKING FOR A FIGHT! USUALLY THE MORON WHO GOES TO SOMEONE'S HOME GETS KILLED!

At the end of the day…

Mark Jameson says:

They look like morons with those face shields. You really have to have a low IQ to still be wearing these silly face coverings. If you have not realized by now this pandemic is a joke then please exit earth now.

Justice Forall says:

Mr Robinson will find out how tough he is when he is someone’s bitch in prison.

love myclass says:

It doesnt matter at this point even if the fight occured off the property. He admitted he was there and had an encounter with the victim. Sux to say but man what is he going to do if he's convicted and doing life and his girl is out? Hope she plans on doing life with him and supporting him.

Barbara McDougald says:

He killed a man why should he be protected? He is a Killer

mona Chanel says:

oh God many evil in this world 🌎 ..
god please take care of us 🙏 from Satanism
amen

Ward Atkins says:

How could he even get jealous ? The girl obviously had other guys " he wasn't married to her " so why kill the guy ? It's not his fault " now she's out with another guy while he's in jail and the other guy is dead . Serious mistake ….

This lady! "you should consider" YOU have to consider! She's awful and he's screwed….next

Teresa Thayn says:

Hey! Tammy Daybell was killed by eye drops! Tetrahydrozoline was the flavor of the week back then!! Caused a heart attack that appeared normal.

Robert Nieten says:

So this young man was getting beaten down by an old man ? If so, and I was the young man I would have gotten up and smacked the shit out of my girlfriend for getting me involved in such petty bull in the first place.

Trevor Lee says:

Goofy morons wearing face shields. This is for the cameras only. Orwellian Times.

How can someone educated enough for a law degree not realize that an open sheet of plastic in front of the face does not prevent the spread of a particulate virus?

kells says:

beating someone to death is not self defence, he could have stopped at any time, but chose not to. I feel he will get the max then appeal on not being defended properly, which is annoying. its a waste of money and time. Unfortunately the judicial systems laws make it so that criminals can make the court system a circus.

Your Majesty says:

All the people in this courtroom look like Robo-cop…

Ami Stenson says:

That guy’s fiancé reminds me of the monster Carolyn Bryant. A woman who thinks every male, no matter how young or old, wants to be with them. They lie to the men they’re with because they’re so narcissistic they enjoying seeing their partner in a jealous, murderous rage! It’s disgusting. She should be charged too!! She witnessed it and did nothing to stop it.

Matt Trollston says:

Damn! You ruined it lady, not even a spoiler warning!

Tee Carr says:

The newsline running across the screen bottom is so full of misspellings and punctuation errors… Clearly not edited before publication.

monique flores says:

Ummm yes. He should be held responsable because
"a very sad thing happend." He was the cause of this very sad thing.

Melanie Renee says:

You've got to choose your battles in life, this case sounds plain childish. The defense lawyer admitted Erin's gf over exaggerated, after looking at the video. Erin should have never gone to Ortiz's property. Mr. Robinson may just get a 20 year "time out".

Zulu Zeit says:

It's snappy suit Tuesday.

Thomas Griser jr says:

Self defense don't mean bet someone to death. Self defense do just enough to get away from the aggressor.

Stephanie * says:

Yeah Okay says:

blueflame says:
