MEDIA COURTHOUSE – A Chester man was acquitted on all charges Friday in the 2019 shooting death of 22-year-old Ricardo “Ricky” Brown after Brown and another man allegedly tried to rob him.The jury deliberated for less than two hours before finding Andrew Patrick not guilty on charges of first- and third-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and possessing an instrument of crime.
Patrick, 35, was accused of chasing down and shooting Brown in the back shortly after midnight on May 28, 2019. The victim died from a single gunshot wound that perforated his heart and lung, according to an autopsy.
Jurors heard a recorded statement Patrick gave police in which he said he was walking on the 2500 block of Union Street when two men came running up, later identified as Brown and Michael Perez. The men were out of breath and he asked them what was up, according to the statement.
The other two men began walking with Patrick in the direction of Wilson Street, Patrick said. At some point, he said, they admitted to having to just robbed another man nearby before Perez raised him arm and pointed a handgun at Patrick, telling him to empty his pockets.

What happened to that Inmate should be the fate of every convicted pedophile.
Nothing more gooderer after a trifecta of days on Detached Duty, than coming into a trifecta of DRTs…and Justice well and truly served. Glad y’all was able to muddle along in my absence. An after action report on said Detached Duty may and/or may not show up FIRST on the Friday TAH WOT. That is, if the Kong Rat Red Hat software sold by the VP of Media Relations for a Proud but Humble Woman owned Company, aided and abetted by a Proud but Humble former Woman Presidential Candidate doesn’t Rush in a Stoned Hacker sending it thru the servers of a Ukrainian Gas Company, thus giving 10% of the credit to the Big Guy.
Interesting concepts on the Springfield. Pro tip; get some spare breakdown tools, they get lost easily.
I’ll maintain my essential freedoms by providing my own safety, thank you very much.

Handled one of these a while back. It was the rifle equivalent of an all-steel CZ-75, felt like a chunk of bank vault for solidity. Price was a bit high, it was awkward from a standing position, and it was heavy. I still fell in lust – I like serious guns that have some weight.
