 This article is based on information obtained from CharlotteObserver.com and The Stonehaven Community Patrol online article which was stated to be based off a Charlotte Observer article by Elizbeth Leland.

Prosecutor name: Clayton Jones
Murder Victim:  Carolinas Healthcare System executive Robert Barber

Defendant's attorney:   Scott Gsell
Defendant:  First time offender Chauncey Sterling (no prior record before the murder according to the South Charlotte Weekly June 9, 2013 online article)

It is my opinion that it is not in the best interest of the defendant to demonstrate how he murdered a man during his own jury trial.  This is just ridiculous.

Obviously, the young man seemed to be guilty of attempted robbery, but there was one gun standing between a White man and a Black youth.

This situation is very similar to the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman case in Florida.  If a gun is involved, then someone may get killed.

In both cases, the person bringing the gun to the fight ended up living.

So Chauncey Sterling did not die the day of the murder; however, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.     I am sorry for the Barber family loss.  I am sorry that Chauncey Sterling was still trying to figure out his purpose in life when he took Mr. Barber's life.

Chauncey Sterling seemed to be the typical misdirected Black youth according to what I have read.  Why would his attorney have the defendant demonstrate how he murdered a man in front of the jury?

This same defense attorney, Scott Gsell, lost a June 2011 case where Montrez Williams was found guilty of murdering two other youths who were bullying him. Williams was sentenced to life in prison.

According to the story from wbtv.com, Montrez Williams seemed to have been stuck in a position where he felt that he had to kill or be killed.  He made his choice.  I understand his choice.  Sometimes the devil gets into people, and they can not be reasoned with.  You can only hope that the police will be diligent in maintaining peace and preserving your rights to feel safe without having to take justice in your own hands.
