ping to post 66. The stuff you posted pertains to police and people aiding the police. Post 66 has the law as pertains to this case I think. Well - not really, as Mr. Gerlach claimed self-defense.
I was wondering if the jury had not believed that it was in self-defense, if his attorneys could have brought up the ACTUAL LAW - that says the shooting didn’t need to be a self-defense issue. Or perhaps that would have been for another trial.
Regardless - glad for a happy ending - but with a year of his life ruined. Saw on his facebook page he is out having dinner with his wife and friends. What a relief!
“...and people aiding the police.”
He did. He stopped a violent, repeat offender meth head who was depriving him of his livelihood - and who threatened his life.
A jury agreed with that point of view.
