"He didn’t pull the trigger but he lied, cheated bought the girlfriend a gun, didn’t tell Anna he was in relationship (according to police, texts messages show Anna didn’t know) and an anonymous call to police revealed two witnesses accounts of the girlfriend get violent and threaten, in front of Colin, to kill Anna if he ever saw her again. So He heard her threats to murder, he saw her unstable behavior. He still bought her a gun and he still pursued Anna. He claimed to police it was platonic but the texts police disclosed don’t indicate that. He put Anna in a potentially dangerous situation that turned deadly and she didn’t even know. She was a sitting duck. |
|||
Is any of it legally criminal or prosecutable, maybe not. However buying guns for someone who threatens to murder and shows mental instability could fall under criminal negligence. |
|||
If Kaitlin pulled the trigger she is responsible for her actions 100% but none of it would have transpired without the aid of his actions and those guns he bought his unstable girlfriend. Poor Anna, her life ended because an unstable vengeful woman and a thoughtless, self absorbed slime ball man" <ref>citation needed</ref> |
