It's different insofar as Scott seems to show remorse and some class under the cir stances.
Well what do we have here. And guess what, same verdict, not guilty. Hmmmm.....wonder why this got no media attention. A justified shoot is a justified shoot, regardless of race.

Not guilty: The verdict in the manslaughter trial of Roderick Scott. After more than 19 hours of deliberations over two days, a jury acquitted the Greece man in the shooting death of Christopher Cervini, 17, last April.
"I just want to say thank you to the people who believed in me, who stood by me,” Scott said following the verdict. “I still have my regrets for the Cervini family; it's still an unfortunate situation for them. I am happy that at least this chapter is over."
As deliberations dragged on over two days and the jury asked for testimony to be read back, Scott admits he didn't know how it would all turn out.
"I was nervous of course,” he said. “You never know what direction this whole thing is going to turn, so I have no idea. But it worked out and I feel that justice (was) served today."
Cervini's family members say justice wasn't served. They say Christopher was murdered in cold blood, that he'd never been in trouble and Scott acted as judge, jury and executioner.
"The message is that we can all go out and get guns and feel anybody that we feel is threatening us and lie about the fact,” said Jim Cervini, Christopher’s father. “My son never threatened anybody. He was a gentle child, his nature was gentle, he was a good person and he was never, ever arrested for anything, and has never been in trouble. He was 16 years and four months old, and he was slaughtered."
Scott says he acted in self defense when he confronted Cervini and two others saying they were stealing from neighbors cars. He told them he had a gun and ordered them to freeze and wait for police.
Scott says he shot Cervini twice when the victim charged toward him yelling he was going to get Scott.
"How can this happen to a beautiful, sweet child like that?” asked Cervini’s aunt Carol Cervini. “All he wanted to do was go home. And then for them to say, he was saying, 'Please don't kill me. I'm just a kid,' and he just kept on shooting him."
Scott says the last seven months have been difficult for him and his family. If he could go back to the events in the early morning hours of April 4, there are things he says he would do differently.
"If it meant a person not losing their life, absolutely,” he said. “Would I still have tried to stop what was going on? That I would have done. But if I knew ahead of time that I could do something to help somebody from losing their life, I don't want anyone to lose their life."
Scott says the first thing he was going to do was go home and get a good night sleep. When asked if he'll continue living in his current home, which is just one street away from the Cervini's, he said “for the time being.”
It's different insofar as Scott seems to show remorse and some class under the cir stances.
this. i see genuine remorse, unlike the coward who said he wouldn't change a thing and it was "gods will" sickening. happy for Mr. Scott and deepest sympathy for the Cervini family. this is a old story, though. why so late?
Sorry, we're not done with all the Zimmerman/Trayvon what ifs yet.
What if Zimmerman shot Trayvon because Trayvon's mother wanted to get a retroactive abortion? Would Red Team want to give GZ the needle? Would Blue Team stand up for GZ for just carrying out a pro-choice decision?
Where was the white outrage? Where was the Nationwide media coverage?
the white outrage is about everyone else's outrage
We Are All Christopher
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go block some traffic.
He was such an angel.We Are All Christopher
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go block some traffic.
was christopher demonized in the media? *goes back to read all the particulars of case since nobody cares but me*
But the guy who shot him is Greek? Greek is the new black?
Damn, there's even a "hoodie" involved.
"At that time, they heard 'Freeze! Don't move! Don't go anywhere.' It was Roderick Scott, wearing a white hoodie and holding a gun."

Still looks Greek to me.
lol naw greece is the town i believe. *goes back to research the case and look for smear campaign and posts of blacks calling him ghetto*
He was drinking and smoking. Evidently, they were casing cars for smokes.
lol greek
Just skimming through it, I don't know about this verdict. The kid wanted to charge him so he shot him twice? That's pretty ed up tbh.
There should've been white outrage no doubt if that was the case.
geez, almost 4 years just to find a case similar? there were at least 3 white vigilante shootings since tray died. can someone find a more recent story?*continues to research this case*
Why? It was a good shoot.
I don't go looking for like this, tbh. People are MUCH more likely to be killed by people of their own race.
Links please. I didn't here of them and am wondering why they weren't more publicized.
yup, i agree. are you going to scott's on the 3rd?
Too many white people, tbh
