He is 80 years old and just had just been beaten to the point that his bones were broken. He didn’t know if she had a weapon. Once a person gets in a fight or flight situation and decides to fight they can’t turn it off like flipping a light switch.
If this goes to trial and I was on the jury I can assure you there would be at least 1 not guilty.
Just my opinion.
I disagree. He had control of the situation. She was incapacitated. Unless I see evidence that either she had a weapon or made a move on him, the final shooting was not self-defense.
