Whoops!

  • A man died after falling on a knife during an argument Thursday in Englewood on the South Side, police said.

    The 36-year-old was involved in a domestic dispute with his girlfriend in the 1900 block of West Marquette Road when she grabbed a knife, Chicago police said.

    Harold W. Smith and the 30-year-old woman struggled over the knife at 1 a.m., when Smith fell on top of it and was punctured in the chest, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

    Smith was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead within the hour, authorities said.
...we'd have about six dollars.

A great many knives can do Standing Hamptons,
but it takes a lot of training, practice, trial and error.
Most people with real lives to lead simply say it's
not worth the trouble.

This was actually an ancient Japanese honor ritual. It again illustrates the often astonishing cultural richness of these communities.

She must have told him that he just wasn't cutting it anymore and the relationship was over.

Men are always the evil misogynistic aggressive killers. The poor innocent female never stood a chance.

And since he's dead we're basing that story entirely on her report.

Hey, if he's a wife-beater that got what was coming to him, whatever. But if she Jodi Arias-ed him I hope they can pin it on her.

Classic.
Who bought into that, the States Attorney?

An inside incident too.
Domestically categorized and not of criminal nature.

Wonder if the M.E. will find multiple lacerations, punctures, defensive wounds, etc. from tussling and rolling over that shiv more than once?
Cook Co might no longer willing to be keep a lid on death investigations since the city hall favors are no longer available.
But even so, Cook Co is passionate about who gets leniency and justifications anyway.

Are civil attorneys are exploring the wrongful death and ways to compensate the decedents estate?

I think that “whoops” should become a new crime statistic. Last night there were: 2 robberies, 4 homicides, 6 whoops, etc.

.....happens a lot at Benihana, but they try to keep
it out of the papers. Bring your own personal
titanium chopsticks to impress the chef. Works both
ways. Benihana has a tray of fake Rolexes in the
dressing room. It's like costume jewelry so the chefs
can score bigger tips. Thank you very much.

I was surprised to see it characterized like that by the CPD spokesman. Those weren't the facts presented to Felony Review by the Detectives when I rejected it. Here's what really happened: Male 'Victim' was 6'2" and 220 lbs. Female 'Defendant' was 5'7" and 150 lbs. Victim was recently paroled on a gun charge six days earlier, and had a prior Agg. Vehicular Highjacking as well. He needed a place to stay so the Defendant, who had a romantic relationship with hm, let him stay with her and her mother. They got into an argument when the Defendant caught the Victim asking another woman for her phone number earlier in the evening. During the argument, Defendant started chest shoving the guy and wouldn't stop, so the Victim started throwing haymakers to her face and uppercuts to her head, knocking her off her feet and stunning her. He punched her in the face and head between 5-10 times, breaking her nose and bloodying her her up pretty good. Defendant grabbed a nearby knife as the Victim started heading for the door. Defendant stabbed Victim one (1) time in the chest. Although this would prove to be a mortal wound, Victim sustained no other injuries. Defendant's statement was corroborated by two witnesses, one of whom also saw the Victim choking Defendant at one point. It was corroborated further by the autopsy, photos of the Defendant's bloody face and her medical records. Detectives concurred with the rejection.

Thank you all, for all you do to keep us safe. God bless you, and your families.

Though, on point (har), this seems like one of those "if a tree falls in the ghetto and nobody ever saw anything when them racist poleesus are around, is there a reason to care?" situations. Eschewing rule of law in favor of rule of the angry mob has consequences, yeah?

“...surprised to see it characterized like that by the CPD spokesman. Those weren't the facts presented to Felony Review by the Detectives when I rejected it.”

– Presentation is everything. Then there’s the witnesses for ol’ gurl who seems to have been quite a handful.
Autopsy? Not likely for a few more days or weeks, Friday the very soonest. Preliminary exam maybe, but better evidence might develop.
So far a death investigation pending. Not the crime of the century and just one less seasoned repeat violent offender to feed through the system and another to be dismissed.

Anyway, thanks for the input by NT.
