No, I have never said that. However, if you shoot an unarmed person absent a deadly weapon and cannot show that a disparity of force existed between you and your attacker you might well go to jail in many states.

A lawful jury already did that. But yes I have doubts as to his innocence.

I am not sure that is correct. Don't recall that Kuenzli had been arrested for any violent crimes but that doesn't matter. What matters is what happened at that incident. If I saw Ted Bundy walking around and went up and summarily shot him I could face murder charges also.

Not based on what I know about it no. I am not sure Fish did not unreasonably overreact to the situation that ended up causing a man's death. I might not convict him of murder but perhaps manslaughter if the laaw permitted it. I think many others are unsure as well.
