Before David Davis was sentenced Friday to 20 to 32 years for shooting through his front door and killing his 11-year-old nephew, one of his attorneys tried to make sense of the senseless — and ended up simply incensing people.
Omaha attorney J. William Gallup said Davis fired three times through his front door and inadvertently killed his nephew because he was living in fear at his girlfriend’s house near 42nd Street and Nebraska Avenue.
“He lives in the equivalent of Baghdad,” Gallup said. “In that neighborhood, you shoot first and ask questions later.”
If this neighborhood is truly “the equivalent of Baghdad,” (and the rest of the article disputes that), then Mr. Davis had no small part in making it that way.
