Sound Legal Analysis, or Shameful Misinformation?
Two days ago, Attorney William Kirk, the President of law firm Washington Gun Law, released a YouTube video on his extremely popular channel (~360,000 subscribers) providing legal analysis of the tragic shooting death of Roger Fortson.
The title of that video: "The Florida Man Who Was Executed for Exercising His Constitutional Rights." (Find it here: https://youtu.be/IWepSw11YiA?si=_mxXsCsqGFyz5yGQ)
Given that this analysis was by a fellow attorney popular with the gun community, I eagerly looked forward to his analysis.
It was, to say the least, disappointing. Indeed, a good case can be made that the video not only failed to provide anything resembling sound legal analysis, it was rife with emotionally-laden misinformation.
Indeed, the video makes zero--as in zip, zilch, none--reference to any relevant Florida law that would determine if Fortson's shooting was legally justified. Not a word.
In my opinion, criminal defense lawyers in particular should do better when covering such high-profile, emotionally-charged use-of-force events.
Join me for my own take on Attorney Kirk's "analysis" of the Fortson shooting, live at 11 AM ET.
