 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.

Trayvon Martin Case: Similar to the Job Market

When it comes to "justice" and "arrests" and "restraining orders" and "communicating threats" - it is about "who you know!"

When it comes to the "job market" - it is about "who you know!"

Examples: 1) The Trayvon Martin case: An unarmed, lightweight young man is attacked during the night and fighting for his life required national organized rallies to bring a "White man whose father is a retired judicial officer" to even be arrested for murder. Zimmerman's father has judicial connections.

2) I had tenants threatening my life (i.e. Communicating threats) by voicemail and by text messages - and the court system tells me that someone else could have been using the tenant's phone. They would not be able to prove it was actually her communicating the threats. However, another associate of mine shared with me that they received a guilty sentence for communicating threats surrounding a "domestic" issue. My associate had more education than my former tenant, but apparently, I was not connected enough in the community to get my charges to stick.

3) I also have seen an associate of mine with "police connections" get restraining orders on their own mother-in-law.

So trust and believe that the court system can be massaged for you or against you.

As far as the job market, employers are now only posting half of their job vacanies.

Less postings mean less potential EEOC charges, and employers have the legal right to fill the unposted job positions with anyone they want - regardless of the person's qualifications.

So I suggest, that young people get an education in order to learn how to communicate and network. Their life and success could depend on it!
