“Sir, my client was afraid of the gun the victim was brandishing.”
“There was no evidence that the victim had a firearm.”
“That’s because he ditched it.”
“He was found sitting on the same toilet that the defendant found him on.”
“The victim fled to the next room, your honor. The police did not search the room thoroughly enough.”
“There is no evidence that the victim ever had a firearm.”
“HE DITCHED THE GUN!”
