[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is this murderer able to claim self-defense? Wouldn't the dead teen be the one using self-defense? If you initiate a confrontation, how are you ever able to claim self-defense. Can any lawyers help me figure this out?

Also, if the scumbag was in his car, he could have easily left his gun there. This guy was looking for a reason to play cop.

He can CLAIM and mount any defense.  He can claim insanity.  He can claim self-defense.  He can claim he wasn't there.  He can claim double jeopardy.  He can claim he's Santa Claus if he wants to.  (If the defense is totally frivolous it will be struck, probably, before it gets to the jury).  It's proving the defense that's an issue and whether a judge/jury will believe it.  I can mount multiple, even conflicting defenses to a crime if I want to.[/quote]

Well so far this asshole hasn't even been arrested so ..........................................................

If the DA doesn't bring charges, they should be arrested themselves. [/quote]

Why?  In so much a way you accuse the shooter of vigilante'ism and acting out, you're demanding guilt without knowledge of facts, other than info from rants on DCUM. [/quote]

I"m not discussing guilt or innocence (although I believe he is guilty). My issue is that this POS hasn't even been arrested. In what world shouldn't this happen?

-He called 911 to report a "suspicious person"
-[b]911 told him not to intervene and that police were on the way[/b]
-The man chose to exit his vehicle with his gun.
-An altercation enrsued (I can imagine that this teen told him to "eff off" which is probably what I would have told him. Blacks no longer need walking papers and we are free to walk wherever we please without having to explain our intentions to anybody).
-Somewhere in this altercation, the man pulled his gun and shot the teen

Again, in what world was this murderer not the aggressor? [/quote]
