Mike McDaniel’s The Erik Scott Case: Update 5 (The Future) (October 5, 2010) http://confederateyankee.mu.nu/archives/306510.php

Looks like he came to the same conclusion I did. Glad to see it. I think there are three things the lawyers will hammer home in the civil case:

1 - Gun in holster, hammer down.

2 - 6 seconds from “Where is the suspect?” to shots fired.

3 - Any half sane person can come up with a better way of handling a situation like this, and the outcome would almost certainly have been different - hence liability.

Yes. McDaniels doesn't have an axe to grind, and he laid it out much like you did.

There's going to be a LOT of unpleasant questions asked at the federal trial.
