Nigel,Well I am NOT defending the guy, he does sound like a proper prick.
But is that really enough to kill a man?
Several parts of her story just don’t smell right to me...
She’s a sports bike rider, why didn’t she simply flip him the finger and ride off rather than stop for a confrontation? That’s what most of us would have done I think.
She claims she only remembered that she had a gun whilst drifting in and out of consciousness whilst being beaten to the point she thought she was going to die. I find that REALLY hard to believe, she would have known she was ‘packing’ from the get go.
In fact, how do we know that wasn’t why she stopped in the first place; to wave her gun at the guy and frighten him? How do we know his ‘attack’ on her wasn’t actually him trying to defend himself against her and her gun??
When she did eventually pull her gun, assuming her story is true, why didn’t she simply say ‘stop or I’ll shoot’ ?
And if she did have to shoot, why was it fatal, why not a shoulder / leg / arm wound?
Like I say, I’m not taking sides, I am NOT a gun guy, and I’m not against her... I just small a rat in several parts of the story.
How can you suddenly "remember" you have a gun in your jacket?
My guess is that already KNOWING she had a gun emboldened her somewhat, to do things most riders would just lane split to get away from.
Yep she has to live with killing someone for the rest of her life, shoot them in the knee cap and they will drop pretty quick but will survive, but then we weren't there and will never know how or what ever happened to cause this.
