First-degree?

The Baltimore City Grand Jury indicted Torrez Seymore, 22, of the 4200 block of Ethland Avenue for first-degree murder. First-degree or self-defense... what do you think? The facts of the case:
Court documents allege that on May 28, 2009 Torrez Seymore was responsible for a shooting in the 400 block of W. Lombard Street. Milton Stepney, 22, suffered several gunshot wounds to the body. An investigation revealed Stepney allegedly became involved in a verbal altercation with Seymore after leaving a carryout on S. Eutaw Street. Stepney was then allegedly observed going to the trunk of a vehicle and retrieving a tire iron while still engaged in the verbal altercation with Seymore. The brother of Seymore allegedly attempted to diffuse the argument by pushing Seymore away from Stepney. Stepney began to walk towards his vehicle, but then turned back and announced a robbery, still holding the tire iron. It was at this time Seymore allegedly shot Stepney multiple times. Stepney died at University of Maryland Shock Trauma.

Self defense big time, but maybe he shot him too many times.

He needed to make sure the perp died so that the perp couldn't find a shyster and sue him.

After the previous comment, I suddenly see why the concept of Guilt by Association has so much credence.

I have known Torrez from a small child and I can assure you he is not a cold blooded murderer. Sometimes his actions arent the most appropriate for the situation, but hes a good kid all in all. I cant see the comment of being guilty by association,,these kids lives were rough from the broken home to the end result. Until you walk a mile in their shoes you will never understand them. I FEEL ALOT of the circumstance is because they are products of their environment.
