... but I think I'd acquit:
If Roach had removed the vest when he ended his shift as an Atlanta police officer at 3 p.m. on May 29, 2010, he would be dead and Thomas would be facing a life sentence in prison — if not the death penalty — instead of the 25 years he faces this week.
Thomas shot Roach three times when the officer was in full uniform, fracturing Roach’s rib, piercing both arms and shattering a cellphone in a pocket above the officer’s heart. Why? He said he thought the officer was a crook.
Citizen who has just been robbed is confronted by an off-duty officer (still in uniform) but sees him get out of a tinted window-Tahoe (not a cruiser) and the officer has multiple tattoos on his forearms (aren't tattoos one of the ways LEO's identify gang members?).
Yeah, I'd acquit. h/t Radley
