Was anyone following the Hannah Payne trial?
Summary: In 2019- a motorist (Kenneth Herring) ran a red light and had a minor crash with another driver. 911 were called and he fled the scene (he did so as a medical emergency- it turns out he was going through a diabetic shock which is why he ran the red in the first place).
This woman, Hannah Payne, (she wasn’t actually involved in the crash she was just there) thought he was a drunk driver and decided to play Cop and followed him, called 911 to say she was following him and continued to even several times after the dispatcher told her not to (so basically George Zimmerman all over again). She blocked his car off with hers once she caught up to him, walked up to his window and demanded he get out they had a back and forth before she eventual shot him in the stomach through his window.
Anyway the trial was this week. She tried to claim self-defence by saying he rammed her car and tried to grab the gun from her, but there were witnesses who all testified that she was the aggressor (also, there’s a NSFW clip of the shooting circulating on twitter which was filmed by another motorist who was there). And there was no DNA evidence or anything that he tried to grab her gun or evidence that he attempted to ram her car.
She got found guilty on all counts and sentenced to life without parole
