O' mara just doing what lawyers do - defending the client. I can't be mad at him cuz he was showing his entire ass in that zimmerman trial...that's exactly what he was supposed to do.
couldn't be me tho. -
Y'all had to know that dude would be out of jail soon. I knew that as soon as he got a million dollars bail that idiots would raise money for him to get out. This same story plays out every time. The only reason Dylann Roof didn't get out is because what he did was soooo bad.

Coroner: Ohio motorist shot by officer had fragrance bottle (Not Alcohol)A bottle held up by a motorist during a traffic stop before he was fatally shot by a University of Cincinnati police officer apparently contained a fragrance, not alcohol, a coroner said Monday.
Hamilton County coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco said in a statement that lab analysis found compounds consistent with those commonly found in air fresheners or perfumes.
UC police had said after the July 19 shooting of Samuel DuBose that he produced a bottle of alcohol during the traffic stop. A police body camera video released last week showed the bottle he picked up from his car floor appeared to be labeled as gin. Officer Ray Tensing had asked about the bottle while questioning DuBose after stopping him for not having a front license plate.
Tensing pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter after his indictment last week. He thought he was going to be dragged under the car and "feared for his life," according to his attorney.
Sammarco earlier concluded that DuBose, 43, died from a gunshot wound to his head.
Her office said tests and analysis of evidence in the case are continuing. Court documents filed on Monday said DuBose's family created an estate for him in Hamilton County Probate Court in preparation for a possible wrongful-death claim.
Meanwhile, a Cincinnati City Council committee voted Monday to suspend an agreement with UC allowing officers there to patrol city streets. DuBose was stopped off campus. The issue will go before the full council later this week.
The university has fired Tensing, 25.

He's been a ? for his entire career
CINCINNATI – After a fight in 2010, Ray Tensing seemed like “a ticking time bomb,” a defense attorney said.
Tensing, the former University of Cincinnati police officer charged with murder, had been involved in a fight after a party in August of that year. It was just a few weeks after completing his training from the police academy, where he was recognized as an “outstanding student” during the graduation ceremony.
Some words were exchanged about someone’s girlfriend, according to Jay Clark, an attorney who represented one of the men involved. Tensing jumped out of a pickup truck he was in and the fight escalated.
Tensing was “beaten up,” according to Clark. He suffered serious injuries, and called 911.

The case proceeded to the legal system. Between the fight and the trial in June of 2011, Tensing conducted his own investigation, using Facebook to find the people involved and supposedly pretending to be someone he wasn’t, according to two attorneys who worked on the case.
“It appears he wasn’t happy with the investigation that the Cincinnati police were doing – didn’t believe that they were aggressive enough or doing enough,” criminal defense attorney Lisa Rabanus said.
Tensing pretended to be someone else and texted a girl from the party, trying to fish for information, according to Rabanus.
In text messages to friends, Tensing mentioned “wishing he had his gun at the scene, and that if he had his gun someone would have been leaving in a body bag,” Rabanus said.
In another text, Tensing was making sure that he met up with another witness before court to go over their stories.
“He definitely was full of attitude and just overboard…even for a victim,” Rabanus said.
In the trial, Tensing was the only witness, according to Clark. After Tensing was questioned by the prosecution, the case was dismissed because of his “investigation.”
At the time, Tensing was applying for law enforcement jobs and he’d participated in the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office explorer program.
Rabanus said she told the head of the explorer program “that he shouldn’t recommend Mr. Tensing for any type of police employment because…he’s a ticking time bomb.”
Still, Tensing landed a job with the Greenhills Police Department. He listed a Hamilton County deputy and the police academy commander among his references.
Police records indicate Tensing once fired a Taser at a man, but apparently never used his gun during his time in Greenhills.
In 2014, Tensing got a new job with the University of Cincinnati Police Department. In the two months before he fatally shot 43-year-old Samuel DuBose during a July 19 traffic stop, Tensing used force four times, including drawing his gun twice during traffic stops.
Tensing’s use of force was deemed “reasonable,” according to police records.
After Tensing killed DuBose, Rabanus said she “just kind of shook (her) head.”
“It’s like what I had feared – my impression of him in fearing that he shouldn’t be a police officer back then, and hoping that he wasn’t hired...had come to fruition.”

There's a distinct connection between these shooters of unarmed black men and cowardice and the inability to throw dem'hands

http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/hamilton-county/cincinnati/university-of-cincinnati-police-stop-ticket-black-drivers-far-more-often-than-whitesUniversity of Cincinnati police stop, ticket black drivers far more often than whites
CINCINNATI – When it comes to making traffic stops and writing citations, the University of Cincinnati police department's record is as clear as black and white.
Through the first seven months of this year, black drivers received 69 percent of the citations issued by UC police while white drivers received 23 percent, according to figures released by UC.
Black motorists were subject to 62 percent of the stops with citations compared to 29 percent for white drivers.
And Ray Tensing's numbers were even more lopsided than the department's.
UC police chief Jason Goodrich said he was shocked to see the numbers.
"I was horrified," said Goodrich. "That is not acceptable."
The UC police department has been under fire and intense scrutiny since Tensing, a 25-year-old white officer, shot and killed 43-year-old Sam DuBose, an unarmed black motorist, during an off-campus traffic stop last month. Tensing was charged with murder and fired.
During two years on the UC force, Tensing issued 82 percent of his citations to black drivers and 16 percent to whites. He stopped and ticketed black drivers almost four times as often as he stopped and ticketed whites. When he made arrests on his stops, 73% involved blacks and 27% involved whites.
Goodrich said he wasn't aware of the disparity until the DuBose shooting shed new light on his department.
"Currently we don't have a good way to track that. We don't have good metrics. That's been something I've been working on to get in place. We just haven't got there yet," Goodrich said.
Tensing's case has led to big changes within the UC police department and the university. The police department has new leadership, and they want answers about the large increase in traffic stops by UC police this year.
According to the university's report, UC police were on pace to issue nine times as many citations and make five times more traffic stops this year than in 2012.
Goodrich said some of the increase in citations and stops was the result of having more officers patrol more territory.
Since DuBose's killing, though, UC President Santa Ono and Cincinnati City Council have barred UC police from making off-campus traffic stops.
Goodrich said it's something they will have to examine.
"Part of the top-to-bottom review is, are the supervisors enforcing this, is this balance what we're looking at, do we have a few officers who are pushing the envelope, where are we at? We just don't have the answers for that yet," the chief said.
The university introduced two new police directors Monday.
Former Cincinnati Police Assistant Chief James Whalen will be safety director and Gregory Baker, former head of the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence, will be in charge of police community relations.
Even as they look at changing some of the department's practices,Goodrich said student safety will be the highest priority.
"You will continue to see a decrease in crime," he said. -

Damn. Seems like the only reason the car started moving is because his body tensed up after the head shot.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amp/ray-tensing-trial-judge-declares-another-mistrial-killing-samuel-dubose-n775111The men had a conversation for about one minute and 50 seconds before it escalated with Tensing and DuBose in a struggle. Within just a few seconds, Tensing fired his gun.
Two other officers were on scene, and their body cameras captured other angles of the shooting's aftermath.
Prosecutors quickly announced murder and voluntary manslaughter charges against Tensing, and he became the first officer in Cincinnati to face murder charges for killing someone while on duty.
Tensing told investigators that he feared for his life.
Jurors in the second trial consisted of nine white jurors and three black jurors.
