What convicted him was the security video. It showed that there was a period of a few seconds where the defendant was on the ground, the victim was not advancing on him, the defendant pulled his pistol, the victim backed away, and he shot him. Clearly a bad shoot and the manslaughter conviction was justified. I disagree...The attacker WAS advancing until he saw the gun and then started to walk backwards...

It was a pretty hard blow the shooter took to the concrete and maybe he was rattled enough not to know the attacker was moving backward instead of forward...I would not have convicted the shooter...

Let's say for a moment that the victim himself was a concealed carry holder. He came out, saw the shooter in his wife's face, screaming at her and advancing on her. Would he have been justified in pulling out his pistol and shooting the man to protect his wife?

“.I would not have convicted the shooter...”

Then thank God you weren’t on that Jury. This man was nothing but a coward and a murderer.. He should be hanging by his neck from a tree.

There was nothing self defense in this, just a small pathetic coward with a big mouth. Certainly no man in this perp.
