p.s. one criminal trial down, two to go.

Again I do agree with you Kevin. Maybe my point should have been....."WTF is anyone doing with a weapon like that anyway???!!!!" Right to bear arms??? Sure I agree with that but for what purpose does anybody need a weapon like that mini uzi???

Fishpoopoo......don't get me going on what a friggin' moron I think the Father is as it stands allowing those young children to fire that weapon......nevermind what you just said that he was acting like a tool!!!! Again I ask.....why is the Father not being charged with "Child Endangerment"????? Possibly even being charged with involutary manslaughter????? Where is the justice????

If the others go to trial it will end the same way! I think the charges may wind up being dropped....at least they should be!

Larry,

The Commonwealth's prosecuter stated that "the father has suffered enough" as justifcation for not charging the father.

[BigFish]

Well the burden of the blame lies with him......its up to him to use common sense in these matters and he failed his son! I feel horribly for the Father I do but he should shoulder as much if not more of the blame than anyone else involved....not be exempt from it!

Thats why things are the way they are in Massachusetts. That and VICARIOUS LIABILITY.

Father one hundred per cent negligent. Regardless if the father should had been tried in court, remember that he has to live with himself being responsible for his sons death.There is also some liability on the gun club too. Absolutely no one should have allowed that kid to have pulled the trigger.

[BigFish]

Thats true FR he does have to live with it and that is a heavy enough load......and thats where it should have ended.

Charges being dropped in Bizilj case
Decision comes after Fleury verdict

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP-AP) - Prosecutors are dropping involuntary manslaughter charges against two men in connection with the accidental shooting death of eight year-old Christopher Bizilj, after a third defendant was acquitted last week.

The Hampden County District Attorney's office told 22News that they will not be pursuing involuntary manslaughter charges against Domenico Spano of New Milford, Connecticut, and Carl Giuffre of West Hartford, Connecticut.

Special Prosecutor and Former District Attorney William Bennett says in documents filed Tuesday in Hampden Superior Court he doesn't believe prosecuting Domenico Spano of New Milford, Conn., and Carl Giuffre of West Hartford, Conn., is "in the interests of justice."

Bizilj, of Ashford, Conn., died in October 2008 after an Uzi submachine gun he was firing kicked back and shot him in the head at a gun fair at the Westfield Sportsmen's Club. Authorities said that Spano and Giuffre brought machine guns to the event.

A jury on Friday acquitted former Pelham Police Chief Edward Fleury of involuntary manslaughter and furnishing machine guns to minors. Fleury's company co-sponsored the fair.
