The facts presented seem to indicate a pretty clear case of self defense. What we haven’t heard was if the victims did anything to provoke the incident. In any case even if found innocent the legal bills will be crippling.
The power to prosecute is the power to destroy.
Think Duke Lacrosse, among other high-profile cases.
I agree it was self defense. For the sake of argument however, if he reached his car to retrieve his weapon, did he have the option to leave the fracas instead of shooting?
I agree.
At our fraternity one morning, a bunch of us came into our house to find a group of four guys stealing our house stereo equipment.
They took off running. With us in chase. We caught them after a several block chase as they were getting into their car.
Of course we beat the crap out of them. But if one had pulled a gun, we’d have been in a mess!
