Like I just posted...
IT DOESNT’ MATTER!
How can you claim “self defense” if you did it by accident?
Use your dam brain for a second.
This guy(mr white) is either extremely stupid(for claiming it was an accident) or extremely honest(I doubt it) or he figured he couldn’t win and chose to look guilty to a lesser charge by saying it was an accident. But whatever the case is, he sealed his fate the instant he claimed it was an accident.
OMG. k.
(¬_¬)/¯ I am still going to find what that whole mspace thing was about though.
Umm, you had the gun for self defense, but did not intend to shoot at that time. Either version of events, that the kid lunged at him, or that the kid tried to slap the gun away, supports the idea of an accidental discharge.
