Tom, what I read from some jurors is that the gun and the ammo really didn't make that much difference. The facts led them to believe that Fish overreacted.

Bottomline, if you shoot an unarmed person where there is not a pretty big disparity of force between him and you then prepare for doing the long course as we used to say in another life.

The law is pretty precise for a reason Brent. In the case you mention, disparity of force is pretty easy to show and the women would be justified in shooting the "man" who was beating her. Unless she was Sheena, Queen of the Jungle
