Which is why the state should have never charged him with murder. But like I said, the political climate being what it is, they were scared of offering a lower charge. Which ironically was the best thing they could have done for him.

By far in vast majority of cases the prosecution would have won, the reason they were ballsy taking it to trial. Very much depends on the state as well. In Florida a man shot a home invader who threatened his kid in his home, got life, vast majority of such cases. His lawyer successfully argued self defense. The plea deal was probably life if there was any, so he had nothing to lose. If defense wins you walk, the prosecutor can appeal on the basis of legal error, but does not get another chance. Such is US legal system and the presumed innocence and double jeopardy. You could say when you use self defense and a weapon inside your home on an intruder, in vast majority of cases up you get a murder charge and a life sentence.

A great lawyer. Lucky kid. If he has criminal tendencies he will wind up in the slammer anyway, remember OJ Simpson acquittal for the murder of ex and her lover? Out of prison only recently, only got acquitted because a football star can do no wrong. Remember, in Wisconsin the prosecution has the burden of proving beyond reasonable doubt in front of a Jury it was not self defense. They failed to do so. All fair and square. Life vs acquittal, a ballsy move. There was one case in Texas when a woman shot home invader to death and got acquitted. One. In most cases they are not scared to get shot cause you go in for murder if you do. Multiple cases. Great for gun enthusiasts thinking their gun will protect them. I don’t even own one for this reason.
