Liability Reincarnate!
It's over. Even the lesser of invol. manslaughter through negligence is out of the question now. How can you find someone guilty of negligence in this matter when the guy in question has been proven to be completely incapable of competence in the matter.
He was competent enough to kill him. I think that's all it takes for that kind of charge.
Nope. The gun was. He was not able to defend himself; and to the extent that the evidence supports a finding by the jury that GZ was reasonable in fearing for his life or in fearing for his physical safety, his resort TO the gun can be determined to be properly justified.
If the jury thinks that a reasonable person in GZ's position would have felt the fear of death (or serious injury), then they are going to label his action justified.
