Was Leon a protected class?
And.....
The prosecution would not want me on that jury.
Where I live this would be jury nullification.
Temporary Insanity, Not Guilty!
Hey - he thought he was transgender and thought the stall was empty.
Jury sympathy likely. Temporary insanity after the pervert hit him. That’s his story and hes sticking to it.
Hopefully a jury will do the right thing. However given the “multicultural” nature of juries, a white male protecting his daughter may not seem sympathetic to some.
It will be interesting to see what turns up relative to Leon’s “background.” If there is a hint of any of this sort of thing in his past, no jury will convict the father.

Unless the pervert is a muslim, what’s the problem?
I suspect Harris’ daughter will have very polite suitors when she is dating from home.
Morally, the guy was in the right. The perv needed killing.
Legally, he confronted the perv after the threat was ended and his daughter was safe. So he’s in trouble.
I’d have a hard time finding Dad guilty.
“Melvin Harris’ fiancée, Diana Jackson, says he and his 16-year-old daughter ...”
Melvin Harris’ fiancée,
Diana Jackson, says
HE and HIS 16-year-old daughter...
I realize the pronouns are supposed to be referring back to Melvin Harris, but INCORRECTLY so.
“Melvin Harris’ fiancée, Diana Jackson, says Harris and his 16-year-old daughter ...”
C’mon man, it’s only your profession, urinalism.
Harris should have taken the guy to the “train station”. (Yellowstone TV series)
Cases like this are why we have juries. They don’t guarantee a common sense result, but are a better bet than most prosecutors and black robe bozos.
Sounds like 2nd degree will likely stick. After the incident had concluded and all parties had departed, he saw and confronted Armstrong again. He could claim self defense as Armstrong threw the first punch, but to claim that he was protecting his daughter, after everybody had gone home, will likely be perceived as thin.
Father of the Year!!!! He deserves a medal, not a murder conviction.
Not guilty.
That is one poorly written sentence.
