Prior convictions, charges, or even just investigations into the deceased are not relevant.... he’s the victim, not the charged.
It's relevant. In a lethal force self-defense claim before the court, the dead man's criminal record (if it involves violence, even tangentially) is relevant because it lends credence to the claim that his behavior during the struggle leading to his death was such as to place an ordinary person in fear of imminent, and potentially deadly, violence. The logic goes: if he engaged in criminal violence before, that shows a pattern that supports the claim that he was behaving similarly on the day in question.
The deceased isnt on trial my man...
The question is whether or not his history of violent crime was relevant to a lethal force self defense claim. It is, as explained.
No... again... the 911 call that was made proves he wasnt 100% identified “there is a black man”....
As noted, they pursued him, when the deceased hadnt committed a crime against them at that time, nor by being at a construction site.... by then grabbing guns and pursuing the deceased it shows their intent.
The deceased was running away or jogging, that has yet to be proven, however that shows flight, therefore that proves immediate danger wasnt present.
The white guys pursued, armed at that, by their words a fleeing suspect.... their intent was to have an altercation, which they received.
If there was probable violence which you expect when confronting, you dont confront... you only defend, which they didnt because they pursued.
Case closed, dumbers are going to jail.
