Such as your claim:"Forgetting that under Florida's law of self defense the perception of the defendant is critical....as in did he perceive his life was in danger and that he might suffer grievious bodily harm and was that perception reasonable. I have posted the reasons why his perception was very reasonable."[
Unfortunately, the jury did not consider all the evidence that would indicate Drejka could have been and most likely was in fear of his life and so forth.

They would disagree with you.
Too bad you weren't on the jury, isn't it?
Are you clairvoyant? One would have to be to be able to predict how the jury would have reacted to all the evidence if they had reviewed and discussed it.
The big blunder of the jury was simply that they focused solely on the video as instructed by the prosecutor....anyone that actually watched the trial would have noted in his summation he kept saying over and over watch the video, watch the video....it goes without saying that of course they would watch the video....but why did he keep emphasizing that? Simply to distract the jury from their real obligation of evaluating all the evidence and get them to focus just on the video.
Which of course they did and the recent statement by the jury foreman proves that and that is why they were in error. They did not review all the evidence much of which would have shown that drejka was in a reasonable fear of his life.
The jury convicted drejka based on their perception of the video...a video which is viewed differently by intelligent people.
Forgetting that under Florida's law of self defense the perception of the defendant is critical....as in did he perceive his life was in danger and that he might suffer grievious bodily harm and was that perception reasonable. I have posted the reasons why his perception was very reasonable.
Unfortunately the jury focused on their perception and ignored the evidence that supported drejka being in reasonable fear of his life.
Jury foreman in Drejka trial recounts guilty verdict, says decision came down to security video
The jury foreman sounds like a fag and defitnitely a idiot.
Your reasons were built on a foundation of falsehoods.
such as???
- McGlockton took only 1 or two steps backwards
- Drejka had difficulty drawing his firearm
- McGlockton was on a position to lunge at Drejka when he was shot
- That Drejka didn'tsee McGlockton backing away
