When a person swings a bat or stick at a man’s head
after having gone a found that weapon, premeditation is not hard to prove, and the justification of murder because some shot a pellet gun or BB gun at a crowd....is not a use of force defendable by a “self defence” argument. The respoonce is vastly disproportionate to the original assault , if you are assuming that the dewad man was doing that.
No, murder 1 is possible, and I hope that the whole lot of them are indicted that way of the facts support it. The Somali gangs in Lewiston need to be brought under control, or they can go back to Somalia.Revocation of their immigrant status or citizenship is possible.
Pellets can kill. I know this first hand.
