flytyer57 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Trial begins in Ozark County murder case The trial of a man accused of shooting to death a former Norfork resident began Monday at Lebanon, Mo. Jesus Sesena-Murrieta, 29, is on trial for second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of 22-year-old Alonzo Foster Jr. The bench trial began Monday in Laclede County Circuit Court in Lebanon, circuit clerk officials said. The charges originally were filed in Ozark County, Mo., but the case was transferred on a change of venue motion. In a bench trial, the case is presented to the judge without a jury. Read this entire story in the Tuesday, April 26, 2011 print edition of The Baxter Bulletin. (Quoted Below.) "Murrieta was arrested after he shot Foster, of Ash Flat and formerly of Norfork, on July 20, 2008. The day of the shooting, Foster was swimming with family and friends in Lick Creek in the Mammoth, MO area. "In a September 2008 preliminary hearing, witnesses testified the group was trespassing on private property and was asked to leave. "Family members said they had gone swimming in the crek hundreds of times. After they agreed to leave, Sesena-Murrieta, the son-in-law of the property owner, allegedly pulled out a .38-caliber revolver and shot Foster four times. Another witness said Sesena-Murrieta and Foster had a verbal exchange before the shooting. "Sesena-Murrietta, who turned himself in to authorities, told police that people were coming at him and were going to kill him, according to a statement read at the preliminary hearing. "Foster died at Baxter Regional Medical Center about six hours after the shooting, according to testimony at the hearing." There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.

troutfiend1985 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 That's more than depressing to read, it's downright stupid. I'll leave my views of the 2nd amendment out of this. Look, in no way shape or form do you ever have the right to use lethal force to defend property. This guy is an idiot, I hope he gets the needle in all honesty. Should someone be on your property illegally? Of course not, but this is why we have police, so that peaceful resolution of problems may occur. I'm all for one defending their property, but by the use of reasonable force. This is also why I have repeatedly stated that if you are a landowner and there is a person illegally on your property, but not in your house, leave the darn gun at home. Nothing good can come from having a gun when there is a tresspasser on your property. Either call the cops, or kindly ask the guy to leave. If he doesn't leave, then call the darn cops/sheriff. But bringing a gun down to a situation like this only escalates the tension, and may lead to front page news. “The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people” J. Brandeis
flytyer57 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 I posted this in response to what Cricket had mentioned over on the Shoal Creek thread with the one nut packin' a pistol. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
Wayne SW/MO Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 It's always smart to make a hasty exit when someone you don't know is armed. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Guest P. owensby Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 interesting name the shooter has... And he was choosen by the landowner to CORRESPOND with the confronted party. Yep, that seems like just the person to handle that situation properly. Especialy with his fantastic mastery of the English language that he showed off the day of his verdict being read.
gotmuddy Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 What pisses me off the most is that a illegal immigrant is getting a trial at all. Trials are a right only to US citizens, which he is not. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
