[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably the right outcome. On the news last night they said that Lewis had been shot at first, so I thought it was a no-brainer that he was within his rights to return fire. But this report makes it sound like the gunshot was a fabrication at trial with no support or evidence (he never mentioned it to dispatch or the police, or anyone until he got on the stand). If I were on the jury I probably would have come to the same conclusion - didn't act with malice aforethought but the shooting was intentional and illegal.[/quote] Legally, I'm not sure it makes sense. Either self defense applies or it doesn't. And if self defense doesn't apply, then why not second degree? He shot at the kid. The gun didn't go off by itself, he didn't shoot into the sky. And the kid was running towards him, the police confirmed that.[/quote]
