What's wrong with bringing up the evidence of the "victims" proclivity for violence? In this country the system is supposed to be skewed in favor of the accused. The defense lawyer ought to be able to show the jury just what a dirtbag his client killed.

Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
