Defense of a third party. Let him walk.
You do not know the law and I do, so let me 'splain it to you.
The laws in every state give an individual the right to use deadly force against someone, if – at the time such force is used - the person has a reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury.
If someone is acting in defense of another person, he puts himself in the place of that person. That means that the other person must be in
imminent fear of death or serious bodily injury. The law does not justify using deadly force against someone who MAY at some time in the future sexually molest an unknown individual.
The guy took a guilty plea which was a smart thing to do. He apparently had good legal advice.
So perfesser, let me axe you a question. I aint no lawyer, but it occurs to me that as I grewed up down South we younguns were often told about how the godamnedNazis would go around in Europe rounding up Jews and others to take to Death Camps and kill them by the bajllions.
Now if I was present when a couple of Gestapothugs arrived to take my Jewish friend to one of these friendly little camps, I would definitely have killed the slimey bastards. I would have done more than that, but I'll leave it at that.
Now the way I sees it, dey was acomin to me to kill my friend and I was defendin' his noggin from a lethal process that was not an immediate threat to his life.
So youse sayin' I'd be WRONG for killing them Nazi fucks because there is no immediate danger to my Jewish friend?
Horse shit.
