Okla. Co. Judge To Allow Televised Trial
posted 11/05/09

District Judge Tammy Bass LeSure ruled Thursday she will allow cameras inside her courtroom for the murder trial of 58-year-old Jerome Ersland.
Attorneys for several media outlets had argued in court filings the hearing should be open because of the tremendous publicity the case has generated.
Ersland is accused of gunning down a 16-year-old boy during an attempted robbery at the pharmacy in south Oklahoma City. Defense attorneys maintain the shooting was justified, but prosecutors say the teen was lying on the floor, unarmed and unconscious, when Ersland fired the deadly shots.

I'm sorry lynch mobs are NOT legal. We are a nation of law. When the guy walked back up to the kid he was UNCONSCIOUS. That's over the line and you know it. Shooting an unconscious, unarmed person isn't cool, it isn't justice and it damn sure isn't LEGAL!!!!
