Only one of that pair was also on the scene of another shooting where a shot was fired at Darrell Collins. Sylvester "Redd" Coles became a prosecution witness, he probably should have been tried as an accomplice. I always find it very dodgy when "Sylvester "Redd" Coles became a prosecution witness," or they get some sort of clemency for being a witness.	mikebartnz (21)

1233109	2011-09-24 02:30:00	May be you can point me to where it says he had just fired his revolver at a passing motorist. Once again "At the time did you think Arthur Allen Thomas was guilty or innocent." On the evening of August 18, 1989, Davis briefly attended a pool party hosted by a friend in the Cloverdale neighborhood of Savannah, Georgia. As he left with his friend Darrell Collins, the occupants of a passing car yelled obscenities at them. A bullet was fired into the car and Michael Cooper, a passenger in the other car, was shot in the face by Davis. In lots of countries shooting someone in the face is punishable by death. If there was the death penalty in NZ you would hope the police wouldnt stitch him up so there is no analogy with Arthur Thomas. And why do you use his middle name? do you use other peoples middle name as well?	prefect (6291)
1233110	2011-09-24 02:46:00	Controversial why?? Because the "Pinkos" and "Greenies" claim it to be so?? The bastard deserved to die - the day he shot the passenger in the other car in the face - period!	Zippity (58)

So it turns out the just was not even on the same day. Considering 7 of the 9 witnesses had retracted part or all of their statement I still think he shouldn't have had the death penalty. Once again witnesses have been proved time and again to be very unreliable. If there was the death penalty in NZ you would hope the police wouldnt stitch him up so there is no analogy with Arthur Thomas. Well as they stitched him up any way, I certainly wouldn't think a death penalty or not would have made any difference as what they did was just totally wrong. What I was getting at is at the time of his incarceration with your attitude you would have been quite happy to have him strung up as it wasn't until years later that we knew he had been stitched up And why do you use his middle name? do you use other peoples middle name as well? I used his middle name because it has become the norm to do so. Stop being a prat.	mikebartnz (21)
1233112	2011-09-24 03:37:00	So it turns out the just was not even on the same day. Speed up! One event happened after Davis left a party on the evening of the 18th and the other 1.15am on the morning of the 19th ie the same night.	PaulD (232)

Stop being a prat. Technically you are right it was the next day but it was the same night only 2 hours diff. IMO this guy deserved his execution, him and guns just didnt gell. Kill a polizei in the Southern states of the USA and you forfeit your life, it isnt rocket science.	prefect (6291)

From what I have read there is even doubt as to if he was the one that fired the gun on the first event.	mikebartnz (21)
1233115	2011-09-24 14:22:00	From what I have read there is even doubt as to if he was the one that fired the gun on the first event. Didn't matter and is ot an arguable point. 'On the scene' at a murder is guilt if he traveled with or was part of the group that committed the murder. It may smack of guilt-by-association, but they were all in it together and that's a capitol offense when it caused the death of another person - in this case a cop. Some states have other laws that allow for 'lying-in-wait' for the purposes of robbery or other crime. That automatically carries the burden of evidence of intent to commit great bodily harm. Travel in a pack aand someone dies and all can be guilty of murder, especially if no-one admits gult.	SurferJoe46 (51)
1233116	2011-09-24 15:13:00	- in this case a cop. In this case he wasn't a cop as he was moonlighting as a security guard so he was shot as a security guard and not a cop. Very little difference but in NZ what he was doing would be illegal.	mikebartnz (21)
