“For me, you LOSE the right to self defense if you are the aggressor UNLESS and UNTIL you gain it back by...1234...and those things are outlined after the word “UNLESS””
Let us hope the jury is not filled with people incapable of reading a few sentences with comprehension.
“The justification described in the preceding sections of this chapter is not available to a person who...Initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself, unless...Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm”
The justification described earlier is available, even to someone who starts an assault, if the responding person bumps the intensity of the fight up to deadly or great bodily harm levels. In essence, the person who overreacts and bumps things up to the level of death has ceased to be involved in a simple assault, and initiated attempted murder.
The software doesn’t allow me to draw a picture for you with a crayon. This is the best I can do.
YOU LOSE IT UNLESS
UNLESS

You can meet a BURDEN
Zimmerman lost it UNLESS he meets a BURDEN.
