Jury can still bring in a Not Guilty Verdict,and the Judge and Prosecution can't do a thing about it!


it's possible, but i doubt it, since it's against the law to chase someone down and kill them... in the eyes of the law, that's murder...

* Video of confronting 1/2 naked attacker in hallway & elevator*
So...the hallway is in the apartment building and not the actual apartment?

"Mr. Diallo told police he found his naked wife in the hallway -- and saw that Mr. Nash was trying to escape.
So he grabbed a tire iron and made sure that Mr. Nash would never harm another woman again. Authorities say Nash died from severe head and body trauma."

Lets take a survey: How many people have a tire iron in the vicinity of their hallways?

Maybe I'm too cynical but something doesn't seem right with this story.



The wife called him & 911 on the phone (which was late responding), neither the husband or the tire iron were in the hallway, at the time of the call.
I don't remember reading where he was. But he was a truck driver for 20 years. So it is not 'suspicious' that he would have a tire iron.
It does say, he heard her say, on the phone 'I need help', & then noises, so he 'picked up the tire iron'.




I drove a semi for 27 years.....I never had a tire iron readily available or anywhere inside my house. I fail to see a correlation between being a truck driver and having a tire iron at the ready to beat someone.

It say he saw the guy trying to escape SO he grabbed a tire iron. That indicates he DIDN'T walk in with it and that it was already there.

I don't think a man who broke into the house and was about to rape her would allow her the time to make calls to both 911 and her husband.

Like I said, something doesn't seem right with the story...at least how it's been outlined.

Your are assuming guilt, " having a tire iron at the ready to beat someone "
I am saying, it is not unusual for a trucker or a man, to have a tire iron. In a vehicle, or anywhere.
Perhaps your life experience has been different than mine. Because most of the people I know have, on a conscious or unconscious level, something that they can use as a weapon, if necessary.
This family lives in, a big Metropolitan city; an apartment building in the Bronx. They would be fools not to have a plan or weapon... In the vehicle, in the apartment & probably each room.
Even the two small towns, I have lived in, where they don't lock their doors or cars. Almost every house had at least, two guns & usually knives.* Some were hunters, some were not *
It was/is ..understood. * You play, you pay * And is not an ideological problem or controversial issue for many with a rural experience or Metropolitan, or who have been victims of crime before (or know someone who has), or live in s high crime area, or a place where the police are slow to act, or arrive in time.



I'm not assuming guilt, I'm just not assuming this guy is some kind of hero defending women. I am saying it is UNUSUAL for ANYONE to have a TIRE IRON readily available inside their house. It's not a knife, a gun, a frying pan or any other item normally found in a residence, in a big city or a rural area.

I live in the Detroit suburbs now, lived in Detroit proper during the riots, worked in Detroit, the place that was better known as "Murder City" rather than the "Motor City". I've lived in rural areas, I was born in another country, I've seen, and done, some things that most people can't even imagine.
I haven't lived a sheltered life. I don't need anyone to try to explain to me what it is like to live in big city, a rural area, a high crime area or a city with a low crime rate.

I am not calling him a hero. The writer of the article did.
But I do believe he did the right thing, & what most people (hopefully), would have.
The links say, over & over, 'he got a call from his wife & picked up the tire iron'. So the tire iron was not in his apartment & neither was he.
Also.. He is 61 years old. What is he supposed to do? Fist fight? He had no information to go on. (How old the perp was? or how many?, if the perp had a gun or knife etc.).
He gets the call, then the tire iron, sees his wife naked & we don't know the state of (her) cousin, he 'walks', out into the hallway of the building, sees a half naked guy (who was not in flight mode & not from his building & hits him.

I wasn't trying to offend you, or treat you as if you can't grasp it. I was merely explaining MY thought process.
* And I said what I said, for the benefit of so called 'tree huggers', who don't think people (or cops) should defend themselves, or their loved ones or property/territory/*
