No, seriously. This is happening. This is the defense a 15 year old career thug named Justin Murrell’s attorneys are using to justify his stealing a car then fleeing from a heroic NYPD detective who clung to the vehicles’ window in an attempt to stop him.
Trial begins for teen accused of dragging NYPD officer with stolen car
Jurors heard opening statements Wednesday in the attempted 2nd degree murder trial of teen accused of dragging an NYPD officer down a Brooklyn street in a stolen car.
Justin Murrell allegedly dragged NYPD Detective Dalsh Veve in June of 2017. Detective Veve was responding to a report of gunshots near Tilden Avenue and East 53rd Street in East Flatbush, Brooklyn at the time.
Veve was able to fire off two shots before he fell from the vehicle, police said. That night, Murrell, 15, walked into a local Brooklyn hospital in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the face.
Good for Veve! At least he was able to inflict some damage on his would-be murderer. It’s only a shame the shots weren’t fatal.
Veve was critically injured and spent months in a rehabilitation facility recovering.
Prosecutors told the jury Murrell was joyriding without a driver’s license when Detective Veve attempted to stop him. They claim Murrell took off, Veve held on to his window and was dragged for three blocks.
Defense attorneys maintained Murrell never intended to seriously injure Detective Veve.
Yes, Murrell dinduffin. It’s Veve’s fault that he held on when Murrell tried to evade arrest. As stated in the video, his attorneys claim “There was no way he could know Detective Veve would hold on to his window.” Sure. And was there also no way thugboy could have realized that Veve WAS hanging on to said window and then stopped? No, the piece of shit drove for THREE BLOCKS!
Trial testimony will continue Thursday.
I would imagine that Detective Veve will testify at some point in this hearing although it will be difficult for him, because as a result of this hell child’s thuggery Veve “can no longer walk, talk, or even eat on his own.” According to the New York Daily News, not surprisingly this animal Murrell has had previous “repeated appearances in juvenile court for robbery, burglary, and other offenses.” He is also a member of the 8 Trey street gang. He has had 11 previous arrests, including a grand larceny bust on May 16 [2017].”
All this before the age of 15! That’s quite an impressive career. Obviously this piece of trash will continue on his life of crime and since New York has no death penalty, we can only hope he is kept locked up and sodomized for many many years.
Pass him around like a bottle of Crown, boys.
