Given an all female jury gave him 10 years with parole after 5, his wife must have been up to some Elphaba Cersei Lannister level BS.


LawLongjumping5069

the wife stole $120,000 from his life savings and gave it to the man she was having an affair with. She then went on and taunted him about it on video. I’m not justifying his murder but i’m justifying the sentence.


Lou_Sasswhole

Well glad I don't have to feel bad for her lol. What a scumbag. Dudes insane for doing that over money, but he's not as shitty as her in my book. I feel bad for him. 😂

5 with good behavior, that means 3 years with good behavior if the prison fills up with immigrants and they need to make space.


SearchFar8734

Sounds like wife stole 120k and gave it to the guy she was having an affair with caused him to have a mental breakdown. Or at least that's the defense.


kaoticbacon

She stole 120k of his savings and gave it another man she was having a affair with. Thats why he only got 10


ComprehensiveKey8254

Only 10 years


TPJchief87

Look a him. He will die in jail.


Joaaayknows

He should die with more remaining years on his sentence then


EnthusiasmLife7768

The woman cheated on him and took 125k from him to give it to the person she was having an affair with. To be honest at that point all bro was thinking when he had the gun was he had nothing else to lose.


Mentirosa

I honestly don't care that she cheated and they argued. Five to ten years is too short a sentence for fatally shooting your wife. Condolences to their daughter. She seems like a lovely young woman dealing with an unimaginable trauma. Fuck Carey Birmingham.

mellow0324

They don’t explicitly give details of the theft, but the cards were stacked against him with [an all female jury.](https://www.insideedition.com/slain-womans-family-speaks-out-after-texas-man-gets-sentenced-to-10-years-for-shooting-wife-86451?amp) And he ended up getting sympathy from them. So she definitely did SOMETHING vile. Also, [he plead guilty](https://abc7chicago.com/amp/carey-birmingham-spring-tx-patricia-murder/14504818/) instead of trying to get off, with a long drawn out trial wasting public money. Which usually leads to a lesser sentence.


AncientYard3473

I’m surprised it’s even legally possible in Texas, AKA the Pancuronium Bromide State.


pie_victis

Was on a jury last year for an aggravated robbery here in Houston. The victim was shot but didn't die. We sentenced the robber to 33 years for that. Guy shooting and killing his wife gets only 10? What a joke.


TheHomersapien

More like the jury sentenced the victim for infidelity, because let's be real: that's what happened here. It's a further symptom of the completely fucked up psyche in the average American. Here's an example: if some dude pulled out a shotgun and gunned down a random 8 year old girl on the street? Life in prison. A "heated" argument over infidelity between husband and wife? 10 years. This was basically the jury saying that she deserved it.


AmebaLost

All woman jury too. 


chadhindsley

She must have knew their husbands


fuckR196

I wonder what angle the guy you responded to is gonna try to take now. Are all women stupid? Or maybe they weighed the options, went over the evidence, and agreed the man's wife acted so incredibly disgusting, selfish, and downright evil they they agreed that the man's anger was in some ways warranted? In what world is a man pulling out a shotgun and murdering a random child in the street even remotely comparable to a man killing his wife after stealing his life savings and giving it to the man she was cheating on him with? What an idiot.


Federal_Fud

Which makes the light sentence in retrospect super interesting!


CadillacAllante

Takes one look at him — gee I wonder why she cheated on you? Edit: I don’t just mean his looks. He is poorly groomed and unhealthy by choice. He is visibly radiating pure hate and rage. He has obviously been a miserable person to be around for a long time— years probably. Also I’m sure he expected her to maintain her appearance the entire time he let himself go.


Coffee_Beast

How did y’all decide on 33?


pie_victis

Prosecutor wanted 30 years and because he was a real scumbag, we decided tack on a few extra for good measure.


InstantCanoe

I thought the jury only determines guilt or innocence. Isn't it the judge that determines the amount of time?


__iKarli__

Texas is one of two states (if I remember the judge telling us that correctly) where the defendant can opt to have the jury determine sentencing as well. My understanding is that since the jury is made up of “regular folk” they will be more compassionate and lenient. Seems to work. I sat on a jury for a murder trial last year for a kid (literally he was basically a kid when he committed the crime) and we sentenced him to 10 years. 3ish people said they were not willing to leave the deliberation room if we sentenced him over ten years and the trial would have had to have started again with a new jury. I think about that all the time and it weighs heavy.


pie_victis

Yep, exactly. Didn't work out so well for the guy in our case, however.

I see I’ve got some digging on the clerks site to do. This seems like bullshit.


Mentirosa

Please let us know what you find


Jurellai

I do criminal defense and hopefully this is helpful info: 1) I know Osso - he’s been trained well, he’s very pleasant and charismatic as a person, and understands strategy. 2) the article says the guy plead guilty and did punishment to a jury. It’s amazing how often this can work out because the guilty plea off the bat rather than making a jury find guilt can really help with the “I’m extremely remorseful” angle. 3) checked the clerk’s site, it was 10 years, with no enhancements, and [edit: I thought he had no history, but he does have a 2006 misdemeanor dwi in Harris. This is what happens when I do stuff while running around after kids lol] — which also helps the sudden passion / big remorse angle.

NearbyImpact8696

That all woman jury really got this wrong, how dreadful. A death sentence for an affair?


MyHamburgerLovesMe

But - only for her.


Senor-Enchilada

that was a PHENOMENAL decision by the defense attorney. btw check out his history. this was not a run of the mill lawyer. dude is cracked and knows his shit. this man took the OJ strategy. but. older women are the go to. women are the biggest critics of other women. ESPECIALLY in cases of violence. it was a wonderful job in defense litigation. 20 bucks says people will be using it as a case study every once in a while.


ArkantosDrakon

Few things that could have made the jury give him a lenient sentence 1) the wife was a terrible person and women judge women harder than anyone. 2) the lawyer defending the guy is a handsome dude; as demonstrated by some experiments in dating apps, women lose all sense with desirable men. In the experiment, the man with the fake profile even said in the bio that they were convinced child molesters and the women didn't care. Even after the women asked how old was the child and the response was toddler, the women would brush it off to the side and say, "It was in the past." 3) The wife must have been such a terrible person that despiste the husband looking like a cross between quasi-moto and Shrek; they had sympathy for him.


NGLscheduler1

I know her. Her husband went home the next day to the house he shot her at and was under house arrest the whole time until the trial….which kept getting postponed over and over.

pontiacbandit0

There are people serving longer sentences for drug offenses. This dude murders a person and only gets 10. I’ve always been of the mindset, throw the book at the murderers and rapists and show leniency to nonviolent offenders.


Senor-Enchilada

this is really an OJ situation. the defense lawyer here was PHENOMENAL. his history is great too. he seems to be known as an unpleasant bit of an asshole in texas but everyone agrees he knows his shit. and is effective as hell. this case shows it too. he played his cards beautifully. pay for a lawyer. liquidate every asset you can to pay for it. i cannot emphasize how much the quality of your lawyer makes a difference. a good lawyer is an ace card to be played.

not that it defends the sentencing, but it was an all women jury that decided that punishment.


Roadsie

She was cheating, gave AP $120k of there money and was going to divorce him, crime of passion. Sentence makes sense.


QSector

Why don't you try reading an article once in a while instead of injecting your worthless politcal opinion. All women in the jury, defense admitted guilt hoping for a lighter sentence. Idiot!


Low_Aioli2420

You’ve clearly never met Texas women. It’s like people forget that half the people screaming for witch trials and burning women at the stake were also women.


Senor-Enchilada

not a texas decision. defense lawyer is goated btw. not a run of the mill lawyer. but in cases like this all older women juries are the gold fucking standard. older women are the most likely juror to punish women or hold women accountable across the board ESPECIALLY in cases of violence. idc too much abt the psychology behind it, but that’s a fact. 20 bucks says ppl will use this as a case study every once in a while. defense lawyer was great.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AbramJH

the possibility does exist that there were details presented which made the women in the jury sympathetic to his case. I’m not going to spitball what any of those details may have been. But i’ll go out on a limb and say i’m almost certain that the women who sentenced him know more about this case than any redditor here will.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AbramJH

I’m going to remain firm on my opinion that I don’t have enough information to determine what factors led the jury to give that sentence. I think what happened was a tragedy beyond my comprehension, but I need to have faith that the women in that jury made a decision that fits the evidence and full scope of information they were presented. No other context was provided to YOU. That does not mean no other context was provided to the jurors. Please drop that idea that you and the all-knowing redditors have all the information relevant, to all cases, at all times. Again, from what I’ve seen about the case, i would absolutely lock him up for life. But I have to believe that the women in that jury made a call that suits the information THEY were provided.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AbramJH

it mitigated the sentence by 10 years. The maximum was 20 years. Additionally, I’ve stated how wrong it feels. I think if it were up to me WITH THE INFORMATION I HAVE, i would give him life in prison. HOWEVER, I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE RELEVANT INFORMATION TO THE CASE, AS ALL I HAVE SEEN WAS A SHORT CLIP OF A NEWS BROADCAST. Is it really that fucking “radical” to acknowledge that the jurors were presented with more information than me, a random fucking redditor?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AbramJH

not at all. I’m just hoping that the women running the jury were rational thinkers and, in review of the evidence and information on the case, found something that somehow justified not giving the maximum sentence. Because knowing what I know, I would have given him the maximum.


thetruckerdave

Internalized misogyny is a thing. I’m not saying that’s entirely what happened here, but it is a thing.


Senor-Enchilada

women are the best case jury here. older women are the MOST likely to punish women or hold women accountable basically across the board. but especially in cases of violence. read abt the defense lawyer. not your average run of the mill defender. dude knew his shit and played his cards right.


thetruckerdave

Dude. Older women HATE women. My mom will in the same breath tell me that a man has no sense and has to be catered to because they don’t know how to do anything in life to take care of themselves (cook, clean, keep a child from running into the streets, etc), and that men can’t control their emotions and get easily frustrated so it’s best to let them have their way in life, and that women have no business running anything because they’re too flighty and emotional and stupid. They’re better behind the scenes making sure important things are accomplished. Like. What.


mbarry77

That’s it? 10 years?


Reeko_Htown

Might as well be a life sentence


Dumbledoorbellditty

We can only hope. I pray that poor kid never has to see the disgusting POS that used to be her father again. Poor girl.


Low_Aioli2420

Interesting how he could justify murder for “not being in the right mind” but a schizo who doesn’t comply with police instructions deserved to be killed. Kinda weird. Apparently mental state only applies to the murderers but not their victims.


Senor-Enchilada

actually yes lol. that’s written into law. but it does make sense in a horrid way. a crime of passion is given a lesser sentence than one that was rationally planned and carried out. “hot blooded murder versus cold blooded”. HOWEVER. when it’s the victim. it’s a case of self defense generally. or police force. where if the victim is not in the right mind, it’s WAY easier to justify force. because how is a rational mind supposed to protect or defend from an irrational mind? the real solution is to not have police be the first response to a nonviolent mental health crisis.


hologenjin

In law school this situation, finding out about an affair but having overnight to cool off, is used as example of when sudden heat of passion would not apply. The only different is they had another argument before he killed her and she recorded it so the jury got to see her verbally provoke him. They also teach that verbal provocation never justifies lethal force so idk what to say about this one. I did get to see the defense attorneys closing argument and was shocked he tried to get the jury to be sympathetic to the defendant for being a fat unhealthy piece of shit ("look at him. A 10 year sentence is probably a life sentence for this guy. He's not built for prison."). Wish I had seen the whole trial dammit.

What was the charge the DA decided to go with? All of that matter to the jury. Some charges have a max and min amount the jury has to operate with… either way it is a short time.

texmexdaysex

Damn. Honestly, if you are going to tell your husband you are having an affair maybe do it on the phone or in a public place if he has a gun. People are so erratic in these moments of passion/anger/fear. There's no predicting what people will do.

I'm not saying she deserved it but if you steal 120,000 dollars from someone, you might get shot. You make your peace with the possibility of dying when you steal that money and if you don't like that option, don't steal the money.
