This is a prime example of an unjustifiable murder. Firing 9 shots through a car window and killing a boy who was having a mental health episode and had nothing but a knife inside the car is in no way self defense. North deserves a sentence of life in prison.

Shot an unarmed kid 7 times with zero consequences? Yikes Connecticut. 😢

That kid jacked a car and led cops on a 90mph chase through three towns!

How the hell were troopers in danger by someone who had a knife and was trapped inside a car?

[@jeffersonsmith1877]

Jury identified with the Trooper. Prosecutor put on a strong case. Jury didn’t do their job.
