State “unlikely to disprove self-defense"
It’s only a matter of time before a person stupid enough to park in a "handicapped parking” space (without a permit) encounters a private citizen stupid enough to make a big deal out of it; then things can escalate to a whole new level. How far can a situation like that escalate? We see how far things can go in this security-camera video.
The incident was critiqued by attorney Andrew Branca, who applied the 'five elements of self-defense' to the scenario as it appears in the video. While this case is controversial and has nothing to do with “stand-your-ground” as some have claimed, there is a reason why the local police did not charge the shooter. Based upon preliminary evidence, It is unlikely that the State could meet the burden of disproving self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt.
