[Mr Rogers]

This is an evil opinion. Does someone accused of wrongdoing - which is all some states require - lose their right to self-defense? Frankly, does ANY ex-con lose the right to defend himself, and does that loss continue forever and ever? It goes against the laws of nature and the Lord to say that a man cannot defend himself from attack, unless it is a very special situation such as a prison.

Does someone accused of wrongdoing - which is all some states require - lose their right to self-defense?

The statute at issue in this case requires a conviction, not merely an accusation.
