As this old, retired Prosecutor said from the get go ... EASY call and no doubt this would happen.
VERY different from a conviction but this is the appropriate move as there is probable cause ... again, just based on the facts I see on TV and read.
Yeah right.. You’re carrying a gun and a thug makes the mistake of blindsiding you with a punch. He then jumps on you and thumps your skull on the sidewalk. A struggle for your gun ensues.. You scream for someone to intervene but decide to let the thug KILL YOU with your own gun because you fear being charged by a prosecutor. /sarc.
What facts that you’ve seen or heard would constitute probable cause?
You are so right and you are wise.
