Jury deliberates fate of man accused of helping son, 14, carry out a deadly ambush that killed three
The 'law of parties' applies in this case, Creuzot told jurors. A plan does not have to be pre-planned, it can be made at the moment.
According to the law, the state does not have to prove the motive for the shooting, though the lead investigator testified the shooting appeared to have been in response to a previous shooting. He sped away with his son in the truck, defense attorney Heath Harris told jurors, only because he heard shots fired and his son ran into the truck saying someone was shooting.
Acosta's defense repeatedly told jurors he too lost a child that night, which families of those killed say is insulting.The defense also questioned whether two of the victims, Ivan and Rafael, were involved with gangs or criminal activity. By all accounts, Xavier did not have any link to anyone involved and was simply waiting for his food.
