And that is why he walks.

He's NOT gonna walk - Drejka is going down. The prosecutor was quietly collecting his nasty little history of "confrontations" - and there will be more people coming forward...

Well we will know pretty quick. I say the defendant walks as this was a clear case of self defense. It's going to be very clear to a jury if the shooter was not armed this attack would not have ended. The attacker was still just a few feet away from the shooter and had not turned to run or made any clear indication that he was done with his assault.

If society believes in self defense there are going to be cases like this. It comes with the territory. There are going to be cases that appear the defender did not have to use deadly force but we must err on the side of the defender. The deceased initiated a violent, potentially deadly attack so the law must protect the shooter or we are all in danger. No attack no shooting. If the deceased would have simply got in his car and drove away he would be alive today. Conversely if the victim in this case was not armed its very likely he would be dead.
