An Ohio man has been charged with reckless homicide in the fatal shotgun shooting of his 15-year-old cousin.
Twenty-eight-year-old Thomas Catalde Jr., of Leavittsburg, was charged
with the felony Wednesday and is being held in Trumbull County Jail.
Police say Jesse Hayes from the Cleveland suburb of Parma died Monday after Catalde shot him in the face Saturday.
Authorities say Catalde told police he'd been drinking beer and talking
to Jesse about hunting. They say Catalde was showing the boy a new
shotgun when he pointed it at Jesse and pulled the trigger.
Catalde said
he didn't think the shotgun was loaded.
Well...
ReplyDeleteMaybe when this type of shit happens, the punishment should simply be to be shot in the face. This type of behavior does not really fit in very well with established codes of justice from the last four millenia.
However, it does appear to be uniquely twenty-first century U.S.A.
