I'm going to take this opportunity to object on relevancy grounds.
What matters is that TM is acting the thug at the moment he was shot.
I believe the evidence does show that. It shouldn't survive a TR50 (or whatever Florida's equivalent is) but I understand the politics of it.
You believe the evidence does show that or you believe there is insufficient evidence to disprove it beyond a reasonable doubt? I've never known a defense attorney to WANT to shift the burden to the defendant to show anything.
Just poking at you, I agree that based upon what I know of it, I don't see how it survives close of state's evidence, especially with Florida's explicit Self-defense basis to direct the verdict upon.
Best,
Joe
