A 75-year-old Michigan woman was convicted of second-degree murder charges Tuesday for shooting her 17-year-old grandson to death last year.

Sandra Layne of West Bloomfield, northwest of Detroit, was held without bond pending a sentencing hearing April 18, NBC station WDIV of Detroit reported.

In addition to the murder charge, Layne was also convicted of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony in the shooting. Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper told WDIV that Layne was likely to face 12 to 20 years in prison for the murder conviction, plus two years for the firearms violation.

Orthodoxy SUCKS.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

The potential sentence reminds me of a classic New York case [might have been an O.C case], where the defendant, in his late sixties got popped forabout 25 or 30. His lawyer protested to the judge saying, "He's an old man. He can't do 30 years, It's a death sentence". Said the judge, "Let him do as much of it as he can".

That one made me laugh out loud.

Can anyone tell me if jury nullification knowledge would have possibly helped the grandma in this situation?

I do too. She was afraid of him and his friends. Shame, Grandma stepped in for Mom and Dad to raise him.

Of couse it would have. It's not a "knowledge" so much as an action on the part of the jury.
