I don't get this... Why was he sentenced to death if it was self defense in the first place |

Because of the too pressure from Riley Moore, Donald Trump, the US and the entire world. |

Vifx:He disarmed the herdsman and still killed him. The judges ruled that when he disarmed him, he was no longer under threat and as such, it became a murder case |

Happy for Mr. Sunday Jackson but it is already too late for the Law in Nigeria...The Supreme Court messed up by upholding the death penalty in this case. It was at that point i realised judgements are not based on the letter of the law. How do these Judges sleep at night? |

erniok2:it what determines when one is immobilized that is baffling me, in a place where him escaping is his death sentence. Terrorists getting lighter sentence, our law making Legislators needs more activities and president no see that one give pardon 😉. |

How come that of recent we haven't been hearing about herdsmen attack, kidnapping and terror attacks/bandits? This Teump has a way of resetting d brains that are dead. God bless and keep America. |

This is welcome but did it have to take the threat by President Donald Trump before the man at the center of the controversy to be released? Remember part of the demands of the American legislators on perceived Christian genocide was that the man accused of liking the herdsman must be released. So this is finally to confirm that their request has been met because to be honest I still don't have the details as to why the supreme Court would still uphold the death sentence on a man who killed a herdsman who trespassed his farm with his cows and even wanted to violently attract the herdsman but the man ended up liking the herdsman. After a struggle. It is also a good strategy that other inmates were released at the same time to make it look like it was a general amnesty. Let's hope this will bring some healing and correct some perceptions that there is some kind of Muslim entrenched jihadist attempts to kill Christians via the instrument of the government |

nairalanda1: crossfm: anonimi: tollyboy5: favour32: dederocs: PheelzAlmighty: BeardGangJnr1: PheelzAlmighty: ARISHEM: Kukutente23:Fintiri just set a bad precedent by setting a convicted murderer free because the case was a clear case of murder. Jackson was attacked by a Fulani man with a knife but he was able to gain the knife and even immobilized his attacker which meant Jackson had the upper hand. At that point in time Jackson was no longer in danger and had no reason to kill the Fulani man but he still went ahead to slit his throat and that was the bases for his trial and eventual conviction for murder which was a fair conviction. Those who do not know how the law works are the the ones talking nonsense. |

Vifx: Jackson is a murderer Jackson defended himself initially and was able to gain the knife from the Fulani man and even immobilized the Fulani man but Jackson proceeded to slit the throat of the Fulani man and that point it became a murder case because Jackson was no longer in danger when he killed the Fulani man. |

tollyboy5:that is not what the supreme Court said. They said the way the herder was killed is not self defence, and doesn't look like self defence. They concluded that as of the time the herder was overpowered and stab the first time, and he fell, Mr Jackson had the opportunity to have escaped from the scene even after incapacitating the herdsman, that would have been termed self defence . But he continued stabbing him multiple times until he died is not self defence but pre-meditated murder. Though the death sentence was too harsh, it could have been commuted to short prison term |

starpower:I'll paint a scenario. If the police asks an armed man to freeze and drop his weapon, it could create 2 scenarios: 1. The armed man drops his weapon and.is no longer a threat to the officer who would handcuff him. 2. The armed man attempts to shoot the officer and is gunned down. He was a present threat to the officer. The law was saying scenario 1 played out and going ahead to kill the herdman was murder. PS: This is using US as case study and in no way involves naija police. |

LeeSmart:No. Our laws need to be ammended . The Supreme Court interpreted it as it is . The young man made a mistake of putting it in his statement that he collected the knife then proceeded to stab him. The law says at that point he had the advantage and when he stabbed the guy he committed murder . Now the lesson here is if you are ever in that situation, just say during the struggle you really don't know how the attacker got stabbed. Never admit to any decisive action because it might be used against you . |

erniok2:This is the most idiotic post of the year. If such a man is left to live, only God knows how many innocent citizens he would kill in one year. A leopard can not change its skin. Why does the government wage war against terrorism and keep decimating them? Why does the government now proclaim banditry, herdsmen attack and kidnapping an act of terrorism? |

stuffs2002:If it was a one on one fight and there was no one to defend Jackson after he over powered him, Jackson life is still under threat so far the Fulani herdsman is still breathing. A Fulani herdsman can kill with barehands. Fulanis are very brutal and merciless. |

Raph82:Stop attacking his post because he was 100% correct. Jackson committed murder when he slit the throat of the defenceless attacker because he had already gain the knife, immobilized the Fulani man and had the advantage but he still proceeded to slit the throat of the Fulani man in cold blood. Even the US will convict you for murder if the situation had happened in the US because you cant kill an attacker once he is no longer a threat to you |
