Would you tell your girlfriend that they had pulled a gun on you?

If some guys pulled a gun on you while you were waiting for your girl to come out of the gas station and you shot them... 7 times. Some time between then and the next day when you were on a 3 hour car ride with her, do you think you would have told your girlfriend that the reason you shot them was because they had a gun?

No, I would have ordered a pizza. ;)

I think it's a free board and you can do whatever you would like. I also think it's dumb and annoying. Start a thread on the trial (which I believe there already is one) and have one big all encompassing discussion there.
 
He's trying to be lawyerly, Wackster... We get an idea of how he would prosecute the case if he were lead.

Separate out each action go through them one at a time, talk about reasonable action, put the jurist in his place. Each question would be a separate question to the jury. "Would you?" asked several times at different points during the trial and (if he's smart) separated during closing so that each time you ask it is weighted as its own question.

Now if the defense is smart they'd take the whole picture, talk about the confusion of adrenaline, reconnect all the actions as one very fast activity with continuing confusion.

In Florida, doing that would be objectionable and possible cause for a mistrial charged against you. You are not allowed to ask the jury to put themselves in the place of the defendant or victim. Its an improper call to sympathy.

You can say, "Would a reasonable person...", but you cant say, "Would you...".

Sounds silly, I know, but thems the rules.

Cool. Not a habit I've created. I would then talk about how they were reasonable at some points, later times (seemingly unrelated) I would ask what would a "reasonable person" do for each separate action... The association would be made, I would probably win, and I would be happy.
 
I can see why a reasonable person might become unreasonable after shooting someone, even in self-defense. I know I would question myself constantly to think if I could have done things differently to prevent an outcome where I need to use a gun in self-defense. Hell I questioned myself after I watched my cousin shoot possums.
 
If there were a gun, I wouldn't have left the scene. In fact, I'd call the police, and give them the plate number. But there wasn't a gun in the car

How many stupid threads are you going to start on this one case?

Instead Garud asks them 'why are you scared to answer what you would do?'

I guess it depends on how big a tool you plan on being and whether or not you ever get around to actually answering one of his questions.

Or you could go with some more of your patented snarky derision...that seems to work wonders, don't it.

As it would be a bad idea to leave the scene that you were a material part of, it would seem to be a moot point.

Exactly, I don't get this leaving the scene, you are suppose to stay put till police arrive, isn't everyone aware of this part of our law?

You must never have traveled in any parts of the bad section of town. Nobody sticks around, especially the Obamabots

INstead of shooting a lawyer, he paid one about $50,000.

And when this moronic hung jury comes back, he'll pay another lawyer in the next case. This time, the State should introduce all evidence that shows his overt racism.
