from the other article, according to the prosecutor:

"The legislature changed that and made it a prosecutor’s responsibility to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that someone was not justified in using deadly force."

As it should be, given the presumption of innocence, the accused should never have to proven a damn thing, including the reasonableness of their belief regarding imminent assault.

It should always be the responsibility of the State to prove that the conditions do not exist for use of deadly force by the defendant.

PERIOD.

My opinion is, this woman has a few screws loose.

She wanted her cake and eat it too.

Now, she realizes her sons have lost thier dad and someday they may blame her so she is trying to correct that now. I say too late. She holds the guilt and she should. Play with fire and sooner or later you will get burned.

I hope the good people of Montana see right through this and ignore her.

I feel bad for two little boys, they are the true victims in this case.

Just my opinion.
