I don’t know the totality of the circumstances of this case, however I can say that if the officer was not able to identify himself so that a reasonable and prudent person would think this is a police officer then any charges that would have an officer as the victim should be dropped. Anyone can say “I am a police officer.” and possess a firearm while doing so. What is more is the officer was off duty so again any charges as a “cop killer” should be dropped. As for the kid that did the shooting it looks ill for him. Now if the cop wasn’t identifiable and the kid had a well founded fear for his life and the threat was immediate and the opportunity was there to carry out the percieved threat the kid could have a self defense case. I just don’t have all the facts, but it sux that someone died regardless.

Does it really make sense to go on and on about this case. I mean gosh people when are we just going to let the courts to there jobs and stop trying to act like you know so much about what happened that night, Hollingsworth’s family, and ect…Give it a rest!

Incredibly dense? I think you just proved you NOTHING about me! Nor can you read and comprehend. So what, Officer Sigler placed the gun back in his holster AFTER he was shot,in his dying breaths after he was ambushed by a punk? With a stolen and altered gun, and with drugs,no less. Yep. Wonderful life. Like I have said before,there will be OVERWHELMING evidence as to what transpired that night. Bye-bye Joey!

For law enforcment you are incredibly dense.  Have you not read the reports that the gun was drawn while approaching the defendents vehicle rmseek.  Pull the testimony from the lead detective at the preliminary if you don’t believe me.  I was there.

Does it really matter if it was an officer or not-he gunned down an unarmed person.Period. Then fled. Not to mention the other charges he has on him.

It doesn’t matter if he were a good citizen or not, he still killed another human being.  He has already admitted to the crime.  People make mistakes, yes, but they also need to be punished for their mistakes as well.

Let the jury decide, for they know a hell of a lot more than we do, common sense. They will know if Hollingsworth was a good citizen or a bad one. Yes it is sad an officer died but how did the young child know he was an officer.

So I guess the blogs on THEIR personal pages,linked by earlier media reports were wrong,about all their wild ways,etc,huh? My bad. And if you have “followed” me for so long,and know who I am “personally” then I think you can answer your question about LE. I have full confidence that the department has enough credible evidence that this trial will go quickly,and justice will be served swiftly.But you may want to look up the definition of slanderous…

It doesn’t matter how you word it, this boy is still a killer.  He happened to kill a cop therefore he is a cop killer.  I believe he had full intention of going to that complex that night and harming someone.  He went there to settle a fight on behalf of his girlfriend.  All in all he needs to be severly punished.  He took a life and now his needs to be taken.

Calling the defendant a thug may be an opinion.  However openly admonishing that he and his brother have ever been locked up or insinuating any criminal record whatsoever on either of their parts is slanderous when it is absolutely not true and is harmful to this family and to this case.  If you are indeed a “member of law enforcement” you may have just lost all of the credibility for the department unfortnately.  As for my calling you names.  Let me define that ignorance means “without knowledge”.  Look it up.
