I'm not sure the bullet angle would matter all that much. He could have easily thrown Martin off or shot him from the side or something like that too.

And even if it was from below, all that shows is they were in a fight. Not that Martin started it.

What really matters is the testimony they don't have, who started the fight.



Pretty much. Though, if Z's injuries turn out to be minimal, or, if it turns out M was shot from a distance, or, if forensic evidence catches Z in a lie about what happened, that might be enough to toss out the "self-defense" defense

I think it would be hard to convince a jury that you feared for your life from an unarmed teenager lying on their back while you stood or keeled over them and shot them and it would be pretty easy to convince them you feared for your life if you are trapped under someone and being attacked.

I'm skeptical of that 60% quote that Bowlartz is posting. It's not a direct quote, and seems to be at odds with direct quotes.

Poor Bowlartz. Trying to sow the seeds of truth in such unfertile ground. Casting pearls before !

How long are you going to keep trolling while people ignore you Z?

You have all the artifice of a rabid rhino.
