Stillwater Bail bondsman shooting

She basically got off because they charged her with First degree instead of manslaughter. Also she shot him on the premise I am sure that helped a bit. We also don't know why the guys bond was being revoked.
 
Sounds like the first degree charge may have been used TO get her off the hook.
 
Wonder why nothing on the back story of the guy shot had been released. She is lucky she didn’t have the jury that Darrell Williams had.
 
fyi jumping jill tontz candidate for DA was also the DA in the brian williams case

candidate Jill Tontz in the upcoming election race for district attorney in Payne and Logan Counties took to Facebook on Monday to explain why she would have sought a manslaughter conviction in the case. "The problem is it's the intent behind the murder as to how you charge that crime," Tontz said in the video. "... With the evidence presented to this jury there was no malice aforethought."

asst DA jill tontz drove darrell williams case

interesting she now is running for DA
 
1st degree was the wrong charge, should have been 2nd or manslaughter. BUT that woman should be in jail, I don't care what his background is, he was running away from her and she shot him in the back. The son's reaction didn't indicate that there was danger IMO, she just straight up murdered him. Just my opinion though.

Agree completely. She shouldn’t have a gun. Completely escalated a situation. Also I need to remember, murder is ok as long as it’s spontaneous.
 
Thankfully, I have no idea, what kind of powers of detainment, force, etc... does a bail bondsman have? Are they equivalent of a police officer? Is it fluid depending on the situation?

I’m wondering the same. The entire situation was confusing me.

They have the authority to arrest you, but beyond that, I do not know.
 
Apparently they have the authority to shoot you in the back. What’s bizarre is a cop would be in deep crap for the exact same thing.
