If the court accepts that he was responding to a perceived threat on his life I don’t understand the charge of “firing into an occupied dwelling.”
He was inside the dwelling and firing within. Was he supposed to drag the aggressor out of the dwelling and then shoot?
No matter how many "protections" we have in law, we effectively have none when states prosecute for events like this.
The charge is due to the prosecutors throwing everything they thought they could and seeing if the jury would buy it
Instead of going after the guy who makes a living by harassing people, they went after the guy who defended himself.
What good is a "right" to self defense if you're prosecuted for defending yourself?
