If society believes in self defense we must protect the non aggressor otherwise there is no self defense. Like the sheriff said if M did not commit assault he would not be dead that is a fact and it's the reason no charges should have ever been brought. Innocent people will die and innocent people will go to prison because of the DA caving to BLM and the left.
“Well good job to the state of Florida for allowing this DA to put everyone again at risk of prosecution if they are forced to defend themselves.”
I hope you’re over reacting. Manslaughter and FL’s self-defense law are pretty exclusive of each other. The State will have to prove a prior and consistent intent to murder and the defense will only want the self-defense shooting evidence to be considered.
IMO if all the evidence is considered he’s convicted. If only the shooting video he walks.
And I don’t think this imperils FL’s self-defense statute if all the evidence is considered. That should actually raise the bar where self-defense is actually manslaughter. I.e., did a person threaten to ‘blow another person’s head off’ before, did they brandish their weapon in traffic, were they aggressive and confrontational, etc.
Should be a good trial.
