Crutcher: the eyes have it — 5 Comments

  1. Gerry Spence got a guy acquitted based on the “murderous gaze in his eyes” defense. It can work.

  2. There are no crowd issues yet in Tulsa – there are rallies for the police as well as pro Crutcher. Let’s hope that all remains calm.

    Other points that I have not heard about during this situation – the low light situation (dusk) and did it impact on what everyone saw – remember that the copter cameras tend to be very good and adjust for light conditions. 7:45pm on that date was getting kinda dark. I’m in OKC (90miles west) and it was iffy at that time. The location was rural, plenty of trees and no street lights. I don’t that area in Tulsa, but was it a high crime rate area and she was going to a domestic dispute call. So, did that raise the tension level?

    We haven’t heard about the communications between the officer and the main station as well as the communications between the officers at the scene. How much info did the officers have about the car, the owner, the 911 calls, the search for history and the variances in the reported name of the individual. There are so many issues that I am still holding off opinions.

    We also haven’t heard about why the police copter was in the area – was it called to that area, or was it in the air checking things out and responded to the 911 calls? In OKC, I see the copters up a lot of times, but I also know someone in that division and they just fly to be available at certain times. Friday evenings at late rush hour, early evening activity may have been that time.

  3. According to Crutcher’s twin sister, he was also hard of hearing in his right ear. Hard of hearing people often turn or dip their heads one way or the other to hear better. This whole thing just gets sadder and sadder.

  4. America was once a Christian nation based on taking care of your neighbor. Now it’s about self serving excuses on how to outsource executions of criminals to the police, as if citizens are too busy doing better things.
