The law of self -defense in North Carolina gave Shan Carter the legal right to act in self -defense against Tyrone Baker, since Baker clearly made deranged death threats that he was going to kill any and everybody involved with the theft of his 40,000 dollars in drug money, and if not them then their family.
On February 16, 1997 Tyrone Baker snuck up and knocked out Kwada Temoney with one punch then started walking towards Shan Carter grimacing with a army field coat draped over his hand and forearm in upright position, Carter backed up slowly while reaching for his gun that he carried in a shoulder holster pulling it out and shooting in the same motion. The fact that Carter was scared for his life, it didn’t immediately register to him that he had instantly shot Baker twice, once in his right leg and once while Baker turned to run, which was the fatal shot to his lower left side below his last rib. As Baker ran around the corner of the store Carter rounded the corner shooting behind him missing, then Carter stopped at the phone booths on the side of the store never shooting Baker in the back. Carter believes he went no more than twenty feet from start to end.
One of the stray bullets passed by Tyrone Baker, went down the street, through a parked car windshield, striking the steering wheel, breaking up in pieces, ricocheting and accidentally killing Demetrius Greene who was in the passenger seat of the car, case No.2 exhibit No.1, No.18, No.19. The fact that Demetrius Greene was a innocent little boy it made Shan Carter’s case high publicity and ripe for politicians and prosecutors to exploit Demetrius Greene’s tragic death with blatant lies.
Shan Carter went from one nightmare of thwarting Tyrone Baker from murdering him to another nightmare of accidentally killing a little boy. The death of Demetrius Greene even though it was accidental still was a bad tragedy no matter how you look at it and Carter is sincerely remorseful for it and the pain he caused Demetrius parents and family.
Shan Carter didn’t realize at the time of the shooting that he had actual acted within the law at least imperfect self-defense against Tyrone Baker, which was a thorn in the lynch mobber prosecutor’s side, case No.2 exhibit No.1, No.2 page 23 line 1-2, who wanted to illegally transfer the non-existent intent to murder Baker ( the known aggressor with murderous intent) to the accidental death of Demetrius Greene, in order to unethically and illegally make Demetrius accidental, tragic death a murder.
High Publicity cases equal political play, and that blurred prosecutors ethical thought process and made them vindictive modern day lynch mobbers against Shan Carter. Prosecutors conveyed in case No.1 May 2000 trial that Tyrone Baker was a mad drug dealer, bounty hunter, aggressor, with murderous intent, case No.2 exhibit No.20, No.21. Renee Barnes who sold cocaine for Baker, took Baker’s car from the scene, took Baker’s gun from the scene, and took Baker’s pager from the scene, then Renee’ over a year later and only when detectives found she claimed that she didn’t take the gun from Baker, only a army field coat still draped over Baker’s hand and arm, his car, and pager. Ironically prosecutors just like some 1897 lynch mobbers who use anything to justify their lynching treated Renee Barnes like a trust worthy, credible witness. The coat Baker used to conceal his gun and Renee Barnes took from the scene, had Baker’s blood on it, traveled 12 hours through several states back to Harlem, New York City, in which police didn’t retrieve the coat until over a year later, case No.2 exhibit No.9.
The law of self-defense universally is described as a human beings survival instinct, the first law of man. Self-defense in this state prescribes first Shan Carter had to honestly believed in the need to defend himself against some threat of harm by Tyrone Baker. Secondly that belief be reasonable under the circumstances. How reasonable can it get when the prosecutors themselves conveyed only in case No.1 trial records, that Carter was involved with Baker’s $40,000 dollars in drug money being stolen, that Baker who owned a gun restored to self-help instead of calling the police, that Baker kidnapped and pistol whipped Damont White who Baker suspected with no proof was involved with the theft of his $40,000 dollars, and Baker was a deranged, drug dealer, bounty hunter, aggressor with murderous intentions towards Shan Carter? Even if Carter used excessive self-defense force against Baker, by law it still amounts to imperfect self-defense, not first degree capital murder. In the state of North Carolina you have perfect self-defense meaning you act within all 4 requirements that constitutes self-defense, and imperfect self-defense meaning you acted within at least the first 3 requirements. The first requirement is Carter had a honest belief, the second requirement is Carter had a reasonable belief, the third requirement is that Carter was not the aggressor at the time of the shooting, the fourth requirement is that Carter didn’t use excessive force. Tyrone Baker can’t be the aggressor with murderous intent and a premeditated murder victim also! It’s plain common sense that this is two inconsistent legal theories, based on the same recorded court house facts, case No.2 exhibits No.20, No.21 page 2097 line 12-21, page 2098 line 9-23, No.22 page 2266 line 13-19, page 2267 line 3-16, page 2269 line 7-23, No.23, No.24 page 1237, page 1238, No.25, No.26, No.38, No.44. The absolute only way that District Attorney Benjamin David can get away with this is controlled or collude with Carter’s legal Malpractice appellate attorneys, because the proof to all this is in North Carolina’s state judicial records and now online, case No.2 exhibits No.139.
These crooked prosecutors had the audacity to frame this case on Shan Carter as a Capital murder, which hands down shows it’s a sophisticated modern day lynching way to make Shan Carter’s execution appear exceptable and legal under the color of law! View these documents of conclusive proof of what been said by Carter and his supporters all along, and that is Carter is innocent of murder by reasons of self- defense against Tyrone Baker and accident of Demetrius Greene.
