Hard to imagine that wouldn't be justifiable self defense.


This happened in a crowded Costco gas station. Tons of people there. You telling me that no one would have intervened and stopped this altercation before Mav was beaten to death?

That's what I'm saying as the dudes defense lawyer after Mav stabbed/shot my poor innocent and UNARMED client. wink

If Mav had pulled a weapon and used it, he'd probably be in jail right now.

Regardless if he was "in the right", is/was it worth it to spend some time in pokey, let alone the $$$ it's going to cost in legal fees to defend your innocence?

No.

The smart moves says leave the weapons out of the picture *unless* the situation dictates differently. Ie, I'd agree with you if it was a deserted parking lot, or if the guy pulled a weapon.
