No....you got it backwards boyo.......it is up to the state to prove it was not justified.
This is a fundamental tenet of our legal system.....it is up to the state to prove a defendant is guilty....anyone who does not understand this lacks a basic understanding of our system of juirisprudence....yet one sees several on here who just do not get it....typical for this dumbdowned board and even more typical of our dumbdowned society.
There is no presumption of innocence in a self defense shooting. The person is freely admitting to shooting the person and if the person he shot dies then it he is freely admitting to homicide.
The onus of proving justification is on the shooter not the state.
