| D.C. Coroner Rules Ashli Babbitt's Death a Homicide |
| 2021-04-09 |
| The Washington D.C. Medical Examiner’s office has ruled Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt’s death as a homicide, American Greatness learned on Wednesday. Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and small business owner, was shot dead inside the U.S. Capitol by a law enforcement officer on January 6. In a press release to American Greatness, D.C. Chief Medical Examiner Francisco J. Diaz, M.D., revealed the cause and manner of death of four individuals who died during or after the Capitol riot. Diaz determined that Babbitt, 35, died as a result of a gunshot wound to her left anterior shoulder, and called the manner of her death a "homicide." The medical examiner’s office defined "homicide" as a "death [that] results from the intentional harm of one person by another, including actions of grossly reckless behavior." The unarmed Babbitt was in the process of climbing through a window near a barricaded door when a plainclothes officer fired the shot without warning. Watch the video of her shooting (warning: graphic images). Taylor Hansen, a Gateway Pundit reporter who was on the scene, said in an interview that he saw the officer run away after he shot Babbitt. Two other Trump supporters—Kevin Greeson, 55, and Benjamin Phillips, 50—were determined to have died "natural" causes following the melee. Roseanne Boyland, 34, was found to have died of a drug overdose. The medical examiner’s office defined a "natural death" as "used when a disease alone causes death. If death is hastened by an injury, the manner of death is not considered natural." The medical examiner said he has not yet been able to determine the cause of death for Officer Brian Sicknick. "The cause and manner of death for Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick are pending," the press release said. |

| #17 No apology necessary, my dear — I’ve done it, too. Anyway, I know I’m on the right track when one of you lot beats me to whatever it is. |

| #16 Sorry for the mix up. I was reading comments from several open windows and your name was the one I remembered. Must have been your rapier wit and svelteness (a word?) that captivated my eyes. Abu Who??? |

| #15 Good find, Bertie McCoy3180, though it was Abu Uluque who asked the question I would have done, had he not handled it already. :-) If you also remember me as tall and slender, my transformation will be complete. ;-) |

| #14 TW, this guy: BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Police Lieutenant Who Shot and Killed Ashli Babbitt – Lead Murder Suspect in Ashli Babbitt Case Comment #13 link is not likely the shooter. Bailey was initially misidentified as the shooter by a website. |

| #12 Bertie, it would be of great interest to Rantburgers if you would provide a link to some of those internet slueths. |

| #11 Government didn't identify him. It was internet sleuths who ID'd him by his distinct bracelet. |

| #10 Good. I've not come across it, no media mentions his name; just sort of a hole in time. |

| #9 Her murderer is one David Bailey, Capital Police Officer. That’s been known for a long time. |

| #8 The mere name of the suspect is a mystery only The Shadow knows. Why, he may not even be a plain clothes officer, or even certified private security. He might even have a background which would make people wonder what he was actually there for. |

| #7 And, who killed Ashli Babbitt? Has there been an inquiry into whether it was a lawful killing? |

| #6 So why hasn't Ashli Babbitt's body been returned to her family? |

| #5 Too many witnesses to rule it a suicide. |

| #4 So the wound and cause of death wasn't some underlying pre-condition? Very suspicious Dr. Holmes. |

| #3 But of course Geo Floyd's death was very obviously murder |

| #2 I'm wrong... at least it wasn't ruled a suicide. |

| #1 Homicide is not necessarily murder: From the Legal Dictionary: Homicide: The killing of one human being by another human being. Although the term homicide is sometimes used synonymously with murder, homicide is broader in scope than murder. Murder is a form of criminal homicide; other forms of homicide might not constitute criminal acts. In other words this does nothing in terms of justice for the murder of Ashli Babbit. |
