That’s what i mean about us not being in the courtroom- there’s lots of info that we don’t know about which could have justifiably been reason to throw out the SYG pre-trial argument- But I’m wondering if his lawyer will argue he was ‘coerced into saying that’ under duress of interrogation or soem such argument
...
If I were a juror or judge I wouldn’t believe he was coerced. He was a police officer after all. There’s a reason lawyers tell you to keep your mouth shut.

Well it would depend on what the evidence showed- like a fella above stated- there is also a possibility he was provoked into reacting automatically- that i think is a slim argument- but it can’t be ruled out pretrial when justice is concerned
likely the man is guilty- however, even hotheads deserve a fair trial because as mentioned being a hothead does not automatically mean that a death is a murder- the evidence may just prove he did infact feel threatened- (I doubt it- but it needs to be considered until proven otherwise)
