What … this prosecutor is making him face a murder charge for the killing of his wife .. the laughable part is she has come back to haunt him big time 👍

For those that are confused: In June, a jury found David Swift not guilty of first-degree premeditated murder, attempted first-degree premeditated murder, second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder, but was unable to reach a verdict on the charge of voluntary manslaughter. This is about the retrial of only the manslaughter charge.

@littleangel4780 is there a documentary to watch. Is he guilty of killing her?

The State arguing that someone shouldnt be appointed counsel is wild.

Prosecutor cutting off the judge and speaking over the judge was not helpful to the prosecutor.

We know he's guilty. He knows he's guilty, but the state dropped the ball YEARS ago, and they dropped it again NOW. The dude needs to walk. He got one heck of an attorney, and they whupped up on the state at every turn. The prosecutor acts like a toddler who didn't get his way! Quit embarrassing your county and dismiss these charges.

This case is ridiculous. The prosecutors failed to prove the case and now they are angry. They want to waste taxpayer money to try the case again.

Actually, the judge hasn't made his ruling on the defense motions yet. That is supposed to happen on July 30th. The defense is contending that the statute of limitations has run out for the manslaughter charge. It's a 4 year limitation I think. This is a slippery slope if they allow anyone to be charged after the limitation. Think what the prosecution could do to anyone.

Why did it take so long to arrest him ?

Ummm wtf is this , thought he was found not guilty?

This is so rediculous. The judge should have dismissed the charges. The man was already found not guilty of murder in the 1st and second and jury deadlocked on voluntary manslaughter. Your just waisting taxpayer dollars continuing at this point.

What a nice smooth Judge

@@littleangel4780 the defense is arguing that since there was no tolling language for the statute of limitations for manslaughter in the original indictment, that it wasn’t actually a hung jury, that everything is over since the statute of limitations ran out 9 years ago. To my surprise, the prosecutor actually conceded to the defense on that! The prosecutor is arguing that he may bring new charges of manslaughter, tolling the statute of limitations this time, after a not guilty verdict of murder because he claims manslaughter has factual elements that murder does not. The defense conceded that had the prosecutor wrote the original indictment with tolling language, there would be no issue with a new trial. It’s actually an interesting double jeopardy case that may go to a higher court upon appeal.

Goodman needs to get into the restaurant business and leave law alone!

He was not fired

the man ,husband and friend DID NOT have to harm his wife. Soultion is as follows: surrender 1/2 of ALL assets and let each other live there life out ,until time and or health quietly takes our soul.

Maybe they will convict him this time and Karen Swift may have justice.

@@lesspam6601 According to the JUDGE. He took it *upon himself* to automatically acquit Swift of those charges so they were no longer on the table (which is what HE wanted all along). They passed the note stating they were unable to reach a decision. Period. *Should’ve been declared a mistrial at THAT point.* But the judge questioned them in open court & goes through the charges, incl lessers… exact words were (I wrote it all down) "Has the jury considered the second level of offenses - attempted 1st degree premeditated murder?" - Yes, we considered that. (end of statement but the judge kept pushing…) - "Is there an agreement that the defendant IS NOT guilty of that offense?"… and he goes through them until he reaches manslaughter. Not what was your decision but HE inserted the Not Guilty part on every single one… basically hinting that’s what HE wanted. Either way, what they discuss or even the split is NO ONES BUSINESS except the jurors - no one including the judge! - & they don’t have to reveal ANY of that info EVER but the judge put the foreperson on the spot & made them answer in open court in front of all. That’s not right & shouldn’t have been allowed!!
