Idk. In all honesty I'm having trouble feeling much sympathy for anyone in this story.
First, I am truly amazed that he pulled out a gun and started shooting over $150. I have no doubt that he was outraged and felt duped, but to open fire on these people, as they were trying to get away, is absurd. I am simply dumbfounded by this.
However, IMHO the girl in this story is not exactly a sympathetic figure either. After responding to her ad and having her show up at 4:00 am, the shooter contends that she promised him sex in order to get him to cough up the $150 and then reneged. The jury bought this and, frankly, so do I. One would have to be very naive to believe that he paid a CL girl $150 unless she gave him ample reason to believe that he was going to get laid. And all the while, her pimp/partner-in-crime was outside his house, under the cover of darkness, manning the getaway car.
Did she deserve to die over this? Of course not, but I am simply so disgusted by the whole bunch of them that I cannot find much sympathy or outrage in my heart over this. None of them should have been in that situation in the first place and if you run con jobs on enough people, you are bound to come across one who reacts like a nutjob. Idk, outside of the guy never picking up that gun of course, maybe the best result would have been the pimp taking the bullet instead of the girl.
Anyway, just my
