Interesting. Perhaps you could provide a source which states that the jury found him guilty of first degree murder?
The Grand Jury decide the appropriate charge, Zito's conviction will come at the hands of the petit jury.
I won't need to show how Mr. Zito's life was in any danger, because that's not required for something like this, and I already explained how it was self-defense.
No, you've just repeatedly begged the question.
What does your imaginary statutory exception say? Where is the cite? The link?
Not given, naturally.
