Tuesday feel good story
David sends a link to the last chapter of the story of the life of 26-year-old Jeremy Scott Irvin of Fairfield, Ohio;
Smail Gueddari…heard his wife, who had been manning the cash register, screaming from the front of the shop.
Gueddari rushed from the back room to find a robber, with the lower part of his face covered by a makeshift black bandanna, pointing a handgun at his wife and motioning with it for her to empty the store’s cash register. When the robber spotted Gueddari rounding the corner, he fired a shot at the store owner, but the bullet narrowly missed him and instead struck two mannequins before lodging into a nearby wall.
So, Smail, drilled the shooter in the torso. Irvin grabbed some cash and tried to make a getaway but he didn’t get too far before he collapsed on the side walk outside the store with his ill-gotten booty.
Gueddari was quoted as saying ” I didn’t kill him; he killed himself.”
Since it’s Ohio, the prosecutor, Mike Gmoser, says he’s sending the case to a grand jury instead of showing some testicular fortitude and make a decision on his own.
What’s for a grand jury to decide? The punk shot first and was found by the police with the fruits of his illegal labors. I don’t know who is worse in this case, the dead thief or the prosecutor. Gueddari saved his wife and two-year-old son who was sleeping nearby. Things like that make someone defending themselves think twice about pulling the trigger – which could cost them their lives.

Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
And Gmoser, while I’m handing out cliches, here’s one for you: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Wuss.
The thief and the prosecutor are roughly equal, though the robber appears to have had more guts.
On the sidewalk.
heh.
This is the same prosecuter that sued Punxsutawney Phil. Obviously, he needs to be replaced!!
Gmoser is just as guilty of a crime as the dead robber!
Gueddari had security video of the robbery and shooting that he turned over to the police as evidence.
Gmoser needs a boot up his a**.
All shootings in Texas, including police, go to the grand jury. It is a way for the DA to get himself off the hook by saying the grand jury indicted or no billed.
As Harp notes, many, many places automatically refer shootings to the GJ.
In Butler County, Ohio, all of them go to the GJ. In this county there will be a no bill.
Would any policeman who was fired at feel that he needed any other justification to use deadly force. The prosecutor, Mike Gmoser, is an idiot and should be disbarred.
In TX, if a Grand Jury no-bills, the not-victim cannot be sued for “wrongful death” in civil court. Is that the case in OH?
@10. “In TX, if a Grand Jury no-bills, the not-victim cannot be sued for “wrongful death” in civil court.”
Huh? May I ask where you got that from?
What is a no-bill?
West’s Encyclopedia of American law: No Bill
A term that the foreman of the Grand Jury writes across the face of a bill of indictment (a document drawn up by a prosecutor that states formal criminal charges against a designated individual) to indicate that the criminal charges alleged therein against a suspect have not been sufficiently supported by the evidence presented before it to warrant his or her criminal prosecution.
After reading each successful GS story that makes it to the news, I try to look for follow-ups. It looks like Mr. Gueddari won’t be having any charges.
