To come up with the applicable law ?
let's see if that's applicable.
it is definitely NOT a stand your ground situation.
even if you are being attacked by popcorn at 71 that is NOT going to fly as the reason for stand your ground.
This will go as a manslaughter conviction.
The focus is not the popcorn itself.
The focus is the deceased battered an elderly patron and did that elderly person believe he was facing great bodily injury.
If someone is going to start throwing things and verbally haranguing the elderly for such trivialness there may be a reasonable demonstrated fear of great bodily injury.
If you ask 100 seniors in the situation I would bet you get an overwhelming fear of great bodily injury. And it would be reasonable.
i wonder about the wife that got shot through the hand
the news says she was shielding her husband
or was she holding him back
it sounds like it got heated
