Agree! When you have time make your way to the band section and check out the BOTB with Lake Charles band again. Would have like to have heard some new music from LC ,however, we looked and sounded amazing. If this is going to be our band size next year we are growing. I doubt we will be as big though. -
I have sat in the jury room on three trials. The rationale that juries can come up with after listening to testimony from the witness stand, is at times amazing. I don’t care how good of a case I could make in defense and how much the evidence was on my side, I would never want my fate in front of a jury. -
You give yourself a moral pass. Now that is some kind of flexibility. There is a word to describe it. Can you guess what it is? -
The law on self defense in Texas says that the use of deadly force is justified if the person using the force reasonably believes that it is the force is necessary. Of course a jury will look at it and determine if the person had a “reasonable” fear. In my opinion, by law it is to be viewed from the perspective of the person using the force at that moment. That is why it says that “he” reasonably believes. Then under Texas law, a person isn’t required to prove self defense. The state is required to prove that it wasn’t and beyond a reasonable doubt. So there was no reasonable doubt of fear when your car is surrounded by a mob and a guy is walking toward you with an AK47?
