Just getting into this. Lots of good points. The thing that has caught my attention the most is the drug usage. I really think that puts the Scott family's side of the case in great jeopardy. The guy was abusing narcotics and had an almost lethal amount in his bloodstream and that goes straight to his state of mind and that will be hard for the Scott family to overcome with any jury. No one should carry when impaired (in this case a long term addict). Scott was and that was the biggest error he made IMHO.
