Maybe everything about Jackson allegedly shooting into the car is a lie. I don’t know. Most, if not everyone, who commented on here really doesn’t know. But, I am relatively confident, the one charge listed that is completely factual is “possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.” While I suppose they could charge him with that simply because they have what they believe to be ample evidence to support their charge of “shooting into an occupied vehicle” (I mean you MUST have a firearm in your possession in order to do THAT, right?), I feel most likely when he was taken into custody he had a firearm on his person somewhere.

If, in fact, he did, that may well be the gun used to shoot into the car. That would be a hard thing to explain – how a convicted felon, who by law may not be in the possession of a firearm, just HAPPENS to have in his possession the very firearm used in the even that happened, namely firing into an occupied vehicle.

One of three hings will happen most likely. 1. It will be “nol prossed” for whatever reason. 2. It will go to trial. 3. A deal will be made for a guilty verdict. If the first occurs, it will be pretty evident there wasn’t enough evidence to link him to the shooting. Number 2 depends on what the finder of fact decides – “Did the State meet its burden of proof?” If the third transpires then one must presume the charges are as stated or Jackson had a pretty lousy Defense Attorney.

Until one of those happens, maybe we all ought to just sit back and watch what happens. And make note ~ regardless of whether it was Jackson or someone else who shot into that vehicle, SOMEONE did. One more reason to exercise our 2d Amendment RIGHT to keep AND BEAR arms.

REGARDING:
“The way our justice system works is innocent until proven guilty.”

We are not the justice system.
We are people who don’t like folks shooting others for no good reason.
(If they have good reason, we hope they are good shots.)
We are free to talk even though most do it anonymously lest they be gunned down too.

We are not passing down sentences or deciding eternal damnation.

We may be a bit quick to believe those who claim they were shot by one person rather than another person, but to point at someone other than the one trying to kill you leaves loose the one actively after you. This would be a good way to die.
It seems less likely than implied.

AND
“everybody is forgetting the fact that Dixon is on America’s most wanted and he fled the scene.”

If someone is shooting at you, you have permission to flee the shooter.
If he is one of America’s most wanted, he handed himself over to them when he called for help.

Most of us don’t know what happened — I certainly don’t — or how many times he has been falsely accused in the past by mean people who just have it in for him, despite him being a perfectly wonderful person.
Our main thought is that we would rather hotheads not be loose and/or on the roads endangering our loved ones.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that she wasnt driving if the blood and bullet holes are in the driver seat…. And u can call it what u want escambia county sheriffs office or century police they still work and patrol century so there are police in century…. So many rumors going around its ridiculous but all these negative ppl will really be surprised when Akino is released due to NO evidence because he did not do it. It’s impossible for a person to be in two places at once and he was no where near the shooting.

Century has not had a police force in decades. Not sure if there has been one in Akino’s lifetime. Anyone knowing who was and was not in the car must be a witness.

@ Jess: So if the gun was not legal, the gun laws really don’t help no matter how “tough” as you put it, they ought to be. In convoluted logic, tough gun laws would make law abiding citizens unarmed while felons have illegal firearms. Tell me again about how laws should be tougher.

Some people on here are so insensitive. Do you have any idea what it feels like to have a family member locked up and accused of something you know he didn’t do? The way our justice system works is innocent until proven guilty. You people on here act like you have some type of evidence that he did this. Just because someone says something doesn’t make it true. While some of you on here are googling Akino’s name and looking up his court records, if you want to know so bad and you’re that interested in his court cases, then why don’t you request the court transcripts and you will see how a Century police officer lied in court and threatened the victims in that case to say that Akino did it. How in the hell do you think he was exonerated from those charges. The victims told in court how they were threatened that they better say it was him. I know for a 100% sure Akino did not shoot into that car, and I am a God fearing woman I love my Lord and he will work it all out in the end. It’s so easy for people on the outside to look in and make judgments based on what they hear and read, but I promise you one thing I will never again assume a person is guilty of a crime until they are convicted with hard evidence. Akino may not be perfect, but none of us are, only God. I love Akino with all my heart and as his family I will stand behind him 100%. The sad truth about this, is the shooter is still out here and if you all knew so much you would know that the girl that was in the car when she pulled into the whaterburger was not in the car when the shooting happened. How do you think she didnt get hit when the bullets went though the driver side and driver Seat. And it seems everybody is forgetting the fact that Dixon is on America’s most wanted and he fled the scene.
