Local news reports A jury has found the man who accidentally shot another man while looking at guns guilty of manslaughter.In our post about this incident at the time it happened, I made no reference to charges. Due process sure took its own sweet time in this case.
David McRea was also found guilty on Friday of Possessing a Firearm while Under the Influence of Alcohol, according to the 4th Judicial District Attorney
It was May 19, 2012, when police said McRea, 22 at the time, was looking at guns with 27-year-old James Crouch. They were at a home on North Nevada.
Police said Crouch was accidentally shot in the chest by a gun McRea was holding. Crouch later died at Penrose Main Hospital.
I suspect the alcohol had a lot to do with it. I mean, lawful gun owners are shooting people all the time and getting away with it, but if you add something like being under the influence or lying to the police, you're busted.
