Blackheart Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Anyone have more information on this unfortunate incident? Jamie was killed after being punched outside a Fargo bar last year and hitting his head when he fell. It was all over the news initially, but the last I heard the guy that did this had posted bail and that was right after it happened. Was there ever a trial? Did this guy go to jail? Here's a link to one of the initial stories from the GF Herald. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4279030-loved-ones-pay-tribute-man-who-died-following-downtown-fargo-assault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey23 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Jamie was a friend of mine and an amazing person. The trial is supposed to start in mid June I believe but I think I heard the defense asked for a change of venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlop Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The guy that punched him has a history of being a hot head. That's our criminal justice system these days. Keep giving second chances until someone gets hurt really bad or dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a history of getting in fights and causing bodily harm to other people? Educate yourself a little on his background before making excuses for him.

The heat of the moment argument goes out the window once he made the conscious decision to run around the building to the other exit to confront Grant.

TheFlop Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The word of mouth (which even from people I know....is what it is....subjective) is that Grant wasn't a violent guy and Patterson has worn a shirt that says "Talk sh*t get hit". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Jamie a little in college...knew his brother Jeff better. They were not the type of guys to go looking for trouble in a bar. This whole thing is tragic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldnt say 2 incidents are a pattern. unless you consider ETOH was involved in both. Still a very sad situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 My wife told me she graduated with Patterson at Fargo North and he wasn’t a hot head in school, but she said people change and he should be held accountable for what he did. Throw the book at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a very sad situation. Unfortunately there are many that share your view and think violent people should get chance after chance. Causing significant bodily harm during two completely separate incidents at bars on the same street within a block of each other was just a coincidence? Must be awfully unlucky guy to have that type of trouble randomly following him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to do is look at his picture from the article. Look at the rims on his truck and that’s all you need to know. We all know people like him.
