re: #410 Talking Point Detective

Previous standards means the standard that someone is obligated to do everything “reasonable” to avoid the use of deadly force.

That was the standard prior to SYG laws. You are describing the legal parameters of self-defense as if they aren’t contingent on underlying standards - but they are.

I’m replying with a philosophical point to a philosophical point (legitimacy of defense, etc.). I don’t really care to discuss SYG and I’m leaving it to the trial lawyers. I think none of us are trained enough for a proper SYG analysis of this case, given various contradictory statements and rulings.
