Not really. What you're talking about isn't really logic, it's a strict legal definition. What some of us are using is common sense in that this man attacked and killed a man who raped his wife. Though he didn't witness the rape, he received the call from his wife and rushed home in an agitated state giving him time to agonize over what could be happening to his wife. When he arrived and his wife identified her rapist, he snapped and attacked. If on a jury, I'd go with not guilty.
"I think any husband would do the same thing as what he did," Abdul Diallo said. "You see your wife being attacked and sexually harassed, you're going to beat on the person. You are not just going to sit there and let the person leave or whatever. So I don't think he's wrong."
But his dad didn't SEE anything. It was over when he got there.
I know that shouldn't matter, but it does.
CNN gives a better run-down than yahoo, btw.
Yeah, I agree.
I was giving an example of how he should have described things so as charges wouldn't be brought.
Since charges were brought, he screwed up the narrative because any sort of excuse not to file charges would have been jumped at.
Now would be a good time for the Governor to just come forward and say "I'm going to pardon him the minute you find him guilty, he did a public service dealing with a guy that our own system allowed to repeatedly prey on our citizens."
They still have to find a jury that will convict the guy. If I was on that jury, my position would be "justifiable homicide,"and it would take a lot to make me change my mind.

Excatly, and even in the liberal land of NYC I think they will find it hard to get a jury to convict.
Hypothermia defense for an incident on May 30. Interesting strategy, did you consult with Kramer first?
It's still cold here. I have to have coat and scarf.
