LOL, where I came from , Justice would be served at some point. There is a reason these organizations such as the Yakuza flourish in places where the courts really cannot implement the proper punishment

Quote:

Well the way our system works is people are supposed to get fair trials, and I guess this guy got one. But I would be pissed as hell if I was the victim's family members. Now what?

he was acquitted of a total of six counts -- murder, aggravated manslaughter, manslaughter, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and the weapons charge was dismissed.

so who shot those 2 people?

another example of criminals and the stupid gun NJ laws that are supposed to prevent these from happening

Yep, probably PA, straw gun purchase by some drug addict with a clean record in order to pay gangsters for drugs.

Purchased in a state with lax gun laws.

I'll wager 10-1 that this was an unlicensed gun. Any takers?

That is about 7 blocks North of the Greenville Border.

A witness testified today at the murder trial of Christopher Gonzalez that he saw the defendant open fire

A witness testified today in the murder trial of Christopher Gonzalez that he saw gunfire erupt after a woman accused one of the victims of touching her buttocks while the witness and the two victims were hanging out in Jersey City in 2010.

Gonzalez was 21 years old when he allegedly fatally shot Darryl U. Wilson, 24, on Oct. 10, 2010 and wounded Rashad Funches, 27, both of Jersey City, on Kennedy Boulevard near Boyd Avenue.

On the stand today, James Porcher said he was walking with the victims that night when they ran into other friends and Fabian McCall accused Funches of grabbing the buttocks of his girlfriend, Perla Caminero.

?Her boyfriend got on the phone and we were still trying to talk to him but he wasn't listening to us,? Porcher said, adding that Funches was drunk. ?Me and Darryl was just trying to diffuse the whole situation?Then I saw Darryl?s facial expression?People were coming - about eight people.?

Porcher said Gonzalez was among the group that arrived and shortly afterward the boyfriend punched Funches and Gonzalez shot Funches.

?I saw the defendant take out a gun and shoot Darryl,? Porcher testified. ?I ran and heard more shots but then ran back and (Funches) was laying down and I tried to pick him up. I started crying?.That?s when a police car pulled up?

Prosecutors allege Gonzalez also shot Wilson, who ran some distance before collapsing and dying.

On the stand yesterday, Caminero denied nearly every statement she had made to investigators, saying either ?I don?t recall? or ?I never said that.? In a recorded statement she said was ?100 percent positive? Gonzalez was the shooter. On the stand she said she never saw the shooter and her back was turned when the shots rang out.

On the witness stand, McCall also recanted much of what he told police one day after the shooting.

Porcher is currently facing armed robbery charges and weapons offenses related to a gun in Union County.

Under cross examination today, he admitted that in his first sworn statement to investigators said he was just walking down the Boulevard when he found Funches drunk and bleeding from the mouth.

?I didn?t want to say nothing at that point - I just didn?t want to get involved in the situation,? Porcher testified, adding that he was scared.

Jersey City murder suspect, 21, surrenders after judge issues warrant for his arrest based on eyewitness accounts of street fight and gun killing

JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

A Jersey City man charged with murdering a city man who was trying to break up a street fight and wounding a second man this weekend was arrested late Sunday and made his first court appearance on the charges yesterday afternoon.

Christopher A. Gonzalez, 21, aka "Starz," was arrested on charges he murdered Darryl U. Wilson, 24, of Summit Avenue, who was gunned down on a Kennedy Boulevard sidewalk near Boyd Avenue about 10:40 p.m. Saturday, said Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio.

Gonzalez is also charged with the attempted murder of a 24-year-old Jersey City man, Wilson's friend, who was shot in the abdomen during the incident and underwent surgery at the Jersey City Medical Center on Sunday, DeFazio said. The victim remained at the Medical Center yesterday, DeFazio said, adding that he is expected to survive.

"There is absolutely nothing at all to indicate the victims were armed," DeFazio said. "This was a wanton, willful use of deadly force by the defendant."

Gonzalez, whose last known address was on New Heckman Drive, was identified as a suspect early in the investigation and Hudson County Superior Court Judge Lourdes I. Santiago signed a warrant for his arrest and set his bail at $750,000 cash only, DeFazio said.

Investigators contacted Gonzalez's friends and family and he was arrested Sunday after he went to the Duncan Avenue headquarters of the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office's Homicide Squad, DeFazio said.

Based on witness accounts, homicide detectives believe a friend of Gonzalez got into a fight with a friend of Wilson and Wilson was trying to break it up when Gonzalez opened fire. Investigators believe the target of the shooting was the man who was only wounded, DeFazio said, adding that at least three rounds were fired and the gun has not been recovered.

Gonzalez, who is also charged with weapons offenses, made his first appearance on the charges in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City yesterday via video link from Hudson County jail in Kearny.

Judge Richard Nieto read Gonzalez his rights and when Nieto asked if the defendant had any questions, he replied "Nope."

The defendant is currently on probation for a theft conviction and a conviction for drug possession with intent to distribute, officials said, adding that he also did jail time for the drug crime.
