[Prov1322]

The only problem is that GZ doesn't have to prove self-defense - the state must DISPROVE self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt, and then must PROVE all of the elements of Murder 2 beyond a reasonable doubt.

Which leads one to the conclusion that if this presentation of prosecution "evidence" continues in the same vein, without one shred of evidence that GZ could be suspected of being the aggressor, a Directed Verdict should be entered after the prosecution rests.

That would be in the real world...
