Murder One requires the presence of pre-meditation. I don’t know how you define it premeditated to respond to an act of violence against your own person or your fellow workers. And if just moments before you were involved in a confrontation with armed assailants, it’s preposterous to blame this man for being extremely edgy.

If you shoot the guy while he's in your house or coming toward you as a threat then you're ok. If however the guy runs and you follow him then shoot you're cooked. The same with putting more slugs into the guy once the threat has been ended. That's the law, like it or not.

The same with putting more slugs into the guy once the threat has been ended. And that right there is the point of contention. Ersland says the perp was continuing to be a threat. Prosecutor says not. Video is inconclusive (it doesn't show the perp). Ersland was there, Prosecutor was not.
Who ya gonna believe?

In concealed carry class, we were taught to fire at the threatening person until he is no longer able to harm you.
