Self-defence or murder? Outrage as pharmacist Jerome Ersland who shot 16-year-old trying to rob his shop gets life sentence


If you enter a store with a gun to commit a crime of armed robbery,whatever happens to you after you cross that line is well deserved.

That pharmacist is a hero and that 16 year old deserved to doe!

Daily Mail

A controversial decision to send a pharmacist to jail for life for shooting dead a young man who tried to rob his store has caused a storm of protest.
Jerome Ersland was given a life sentence for the first-degree murder of 16-year-old Antwun Parker at an Oklahoma court last week.

The 59-year-old pharmacist shot the youngster six times during an attempted armed robbery in 2009, leading jurors to decide he had acted beyond the limits of self defence.

Dramatic CCTV footage from May 19 2009 shows Antwun Parker and an accomplice running into the Reliable Discount Pharmacy in south Oklahoma City and pointing a gun directly at Mr Ersland.


The pharmacist, who was once an Air Force lieutenant colonel, can then be seen reaching for a pistol of his own before firing at the two young men, with one of the shots hitting Parker to the ground.



After chasing the accomplice from the store, Ersland then gets a second gun before shooting Parker another five times, almost a minute after he fired the first gunshot.

In court, Mr Ersland's attorneys insisted their client had acted in self-defence.

California Woodland Hills attorney David A. Cohn gets nine years in Internet sex sting

When are we gonna get serious about these types of sex crimes? 9 years is a joke of a sentence for a guy preying on prepubescent girls.

How about 30 years?


L.A. Daily News reports a Woodland Hills attorney convicted of a dozen counts, including attempted lewd acts on a child, that stemmed an Internet sex-crime sting was sentenced Friday to more than nine years in prison.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Curtis B. Rappe denied the defense's request for probation for David A. Cohn and ordered him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

The judge said Cohn focused on "prepubescent" girls who were from broken homes or had learning disabilities, and that he viewed the defendant as an "extreme danger to society."

Cohn was convicted last Nov. 24 of five counts of attempted showing or sending of harmful material to a minor, four counts of attempted lewd acts upon a child and one count each of attempting to contact a minor with the intent to commit a lewd act, possession or control of matter depicting a minor engaging in sexual conduct and arranging a meeting with a person believed to be a minor for a lewd purpose.

The case was filed after Cohn communicated in the summer of 2007 with an undercover FBI agent posing as a 13-year-old girl, according to Deputy District Attorney Susan Schwartz.

Cohn was arrested on July 22, 2008, by the FBI at his Woodland Hills home, but was released from jail soon afterward. He had been free on his own recognizance until the jury returned its verdict.

One of Cohn's attorneys, Patrick Clancy, told the judge his client "has denied that he ever met with any child," and that the prosecution offered a 90-day jail term early on in the case, which his client turned down in an effort to save his law license.

Cohn also turned down another offer to plead to a misdemeanor count during the trial, according to the prosecutor.

West Palm Beach Florida police investigate three shooting deaths, two of them at same apartment complex


Crimes in the ‘hood continues despite the U.S. getting Osama bin Laden. As the White House continues to chest thump, what good is it for the real people dying in the streets of America?

Miami Herald reports Police are investigating a pair of shooting deaths that occurred at the same apartment complex within 12 hours of each other Saturday.

Around 4:30 a.m., a 25-year-old man was found, shot in the face, at 1017 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. Police identified him as Edward Burkes, who was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he died. Police are treating Burkes' death as a homicide.

At approximately 3 p.m., another man was shot and killed at the same two-story building - an empty lot away from Hook Fish & Chicken, which sits at the corner of Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard and Tamarind Avenue.

The body of the victim was shielded behind barricades in the apartment parking lot while police collected evidence. Some nearby streets were closed, and several dozen onlookers watched from beyond the crime-scene tape.

The situation grew emotional with the arrival of family members of the victim, whom police have not yet publicly identified.

“All the homies dying,” said one bystander.

Police also are investigating a third death, which occurred at 5 a.m. in the 1600 block of 43rd Street. As of Saturday evening, police had not identified the male victim or disclosed the cause of death.

Anyone with information concerning Burke's murder is urged to contact police at (866) 312-7193 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at (800) 458 –TIPS (8477).
