I keep wondering why the state is putting in lesser charges along with second degree murder. The degree isn’t the issue. Either the jury believes it was self -defense or it wasn’t. If they decide it was self -defense then that’s the end of it.

O’Mara in his presser said that manslaughter or negligent homicide should be off the table because it was not an accident. He intended to shoot — to save his life.

If they do allow that as a possibility then that is going to be immediately reversible because he did not have a chance to defend himself against the charge of manslaughter.

I just happen to think that those 6 women will do the right thing and it will be a quick acquittal 6-0.
