At the age of 33 and at the end of a nine-year trial, Tyrone Hartsfield may have to stay in prison for the rest of his life. Whether he felt if fair or not, the six-person jury convicted him of attempted first-degree murder on Thursday after two hours and 45 minutes of deliberation.
And paralyzed Richard Collier, a former NFL offensive lineman in Jacksonville Jaguars jersey, felt that the jury made the right decision. Being shot six times as he was waiting in his car outside a Jacksonville apartment building, he was paralyzed from the waist down and lost his left leg forever, as well as the chance of playing football in his beloved NFL jersey again.
According to Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda, the shooting was Hartsfield’s revenge on Collier for being knocked out in a fight with Collier in April at a night club. Only a convicted bank robber testified in Hartsfield’s defense that he rode with Hartsfield to the shooting scene and then heard multiple gunshots. But no help, everyone has been convinced that Hartsfield was the very murderer who failed to murder Collier’s life but succeeded in murdering the football player’s career. He deserved the verdict.
