Won’t work. This guy had no reason to fire only an excuse.
It some thug were harassing your wife or girlfriend you would step in to protect her. I hope.
Not to be rude but sorry you have no clue.
It’s one thing to “step in to protect her” in the situation of a verbal argument. A “man” with an obvious considerable physical advantage would physically interpose himself, not blindside the other guy & violently knock him to the pavement.
But to your statement the guy had no reason to fire that is just not accurate. The bar had been met for imminent threat to bodily harm and continued as the attacker was just 5 feet away and had not shown any clear sign he was going to stop his attack. Stepping back a half a step will not cut it.
In another thread they are saying how the prosecutors are digging into the shooters past. Unfortunately for them he's never even been arrested. When prosecutors immediately start digging for dirt its a crystal clear indication they know that have no case.
No chance of conviction. The only chance the prosecution has is to taint the jury and not even that is likely to work. They will most likely drop the charges.
