Law of Self Defense LLC

This year is the ten-year anniversary of the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who successfully defended himself against a lethal attack by Trayvon Martin---and thus it should come as no surprise that the law side of the racial grievance industrial complex is using the opportunity to foster yet more racial hate and division by propagandizing and outright lying about the facts and law of that case. Yesterday I came across a law review article doing precisely this, concocted by one Professor of Law Martin S. Brodin and shamefully published by Marquette University Law School. So today, we'll do what we do best at Law of Self Defense--filter out the propaganda and lies and show you the truth of use-of-force law and the cases that involve those laws, focusing in today's live stream on debunking this work of hot racist garbage by Professor Brodin.

(Individual responses will also be sent directly to the Platinum Members who submitted questions, in the event they can't catch today's show.)

You might believe that if you keep yourself within the plain English reading of a statute, you'd be safe from criminal liability. In fact, you'd be mistaken in that belief. Statutes don't mean what their plain English reading might suggest they mean. As a result, following the plain English reading of a statute can easily trap you into a lengthy prison sentence. In doing a period update of our state-specific use-of-force law content for our Law of Self Defense Members I was reminded of a perfect illustration of this danger, which is what we'll be sharing with all of you in this live stream. Join us LIVE on Wednesday, May 31, at 11 AM ET for this cautionary tale of relying on the law! IMPORTANT!

Today's show will provide legal analysis and commentary on two gasoline-related use-of-force videos that recently came across my desk. In the first video, a prankster pours apparent gasoline (actually water) over the hoods of occupied cars, almost getting himself shot. In the second, a woman in a car at a gas station is confronted by a man who opens her car doo, and she shoots him.

A Tennessee homeowner confronts several armed car thieves breaking into his vehicles in his driveway at o-dark-thirty. Suddenly, the thieves began shooting at the homeowner--and the homeowner returns defensive fire. In all, at least 28 rounds were exchanged in the gun fight before the thieves fled. When the cops show up to the scene of the gun fight, who gets arrested and charged with a felony? Believe it or not, the Tennessee homeowner! How can this be?

In today's show we cover the recent successful appeal of a Washington state woman who had overturned her conviction on a charge of first-degree (reckless, unintentional) manslaughter over the stabbing death of abusive boyfriend. The reason for the reversal of the conviction? The woman's trial attorney--and, apparently, the trial court itself--MISTAKENLY believed that self-defense was not a legal defense to the crime of reckless manslaughter. It is true that the legal defense of self-defense operates in a subtly different manner when raised against reckless manslaughter than when raised against an intentional killing, and we'll discuss just how that works. The real take home message, however, is that it is extremely dangerous to presume that even a well-experienced criminal defense attorney is really comprehensively informed on the actual law of self-defense--and if they get it wrong, it's YOU who goes to prison.

In 2018 Officer William Darby, accompanied by two fellow officers, responded to the home of a suicidal Jeffrey Parker, who sat on his couch with a gun to his head. After Parker ignored repeated demands to put down his gun, Darby fired a single shotgun round into Parker, causing mortal injury. Darby would be charged with murder for this shooting. His pre-trial self-defense immunity plea was rejected by the trial judge, and he was convicted of murder at trial and sentenced to 25 years. This past March, however, Darby's conviction was overturned on grounds of improper jury instructions, and he was remanded for a re-trial. Darby sought immunity once again under the corrected legal standard, in front of a new trial judge, and last week immunity was denied again. Join me for an extensive recounting of the facts and law of these immunity hearings, trial, and a thorough reading of the appellate court decision reversing Darby's conviction--INCLUDING BODY CAM VIDEO OF THE USE-OF-FORCE EVENT (the video, however, will be streamed only to Law of Self Defense Members, to remain consistent with YouTube monetization policies).

The gun control propagandists have launched a fresh wave of attacks on both gun ownership and self-defense, and of course the mainstream media is fully on board in driving forward this propaganda war on our civil rights. I've three examples of recent media reporting on the self-defense doctrine of "stand-your-ground." Two of these, from PBS and FOX News, host "experts" (non-lawyer Prof. Robert Spitzer, SUNY Cortland and former Federal prosecutor Duncan Levin) who grossly misrepresent stand-your-ground law--whether that's out of political fecklessness or outright ignorance is hard to tell, the two look very similar in this context. The third example is from a local North Carolina news station, WCNC, and in this case I expect the guest lawyer (Gary Mauney, Mauney LLC) is well-informed on this law, but his communication of that expertise was absolutely mauled by the manner in which the station edited and communicated that knowledge to the audience, likely through no fault of Attorney Mauney's own.

Today's show is prompted by a news report of an Ohio woman just sentenced to two years in prison for having sicced two of her Pitt Bulls on a group of children, resulting in one 6-year-old girl requiring multiple emergency surgeries as a result of bites to her head and body. There are, of course, circumstances in which using a dog as a weapon could be perfectly lawful. How does the law distinguish between the use of a dog as a weapon versus the use of any other defensive tool, such as a gun or pepper spray?

As is common in high-profile, politically- and racially-charged shootings, I'm seeing an enormous amount of bad legal takes on whether the shooting of Ralph Yarl by Andrew Lester could possibly have been lawful. In fact, Missouri law explicitly allows for the use of deadly defensive force under the circumstances in which Lester encountered Yarl, and we'll explore that in today's show. One caveat--Yarl claims that the second time he was shot was while he was on the ground. I've seen no evidence to corroborate that claim, but there may well be forensic evidence decisive on that issue. If Yarl's claim is supported by the evidence, that second shot might be difficult to justify. Any shots fired while Yarl was upright and apparently attempting to unlawfully enter Lester's dwelling, however, were almost certainly lawful under Missouri law. Interested in learning why?

In the late night hours of April 13, an 84-year-old homeowner living alone was awoken by someone banging on his front door. Lester prudently armed himself with a .32 caliber pistol, and opened his front door to respond to the person outside. Before him an unknown 6-foot-tall male, trespassing in violation of several no-trespassing signs, was attempting to force entry through his locked storm door--an apparent forcible home invasion. The homeowner shot at the attempted intruder twice, and the intruder fled. The homeowner then promptly called 911 to report the event. For this, the homeowner, Andrew Lester has been immediately targeted for racial arson by Benjamin Crump and others of his ilk, with a full-blown propaganda campaign raging across Twitter and news media demonizing Lester for having shot 16-year-old Ralph Yari simply for the "crime" of having rung Lester's doorbell. Within a day Lester was charged by Prosecutor Zachary Thompson with the life felony of first-degree assault, as well as 15-year felony armed criminal action. Notably, Prosecutor Thompson informed the public that "It's been my goal from the very beginning to get justice for the child involved in the case." No mention was made of any interest in justice for Andrew Lester. Join me LIVE at 1 PM ET to discuss this newest travesty of justice being promulgated by Attorney Crump against yet another vulnerable victim of the racial grievance industrial complex.

Two days ago the defense team for Daniel Perry, found guilty this past Friday for the murder of Garrett Foster, filed a motion for a new trial. Normally such motions are really just a matter of going through some hand-waving, and rarely have any substantive basis for a new trial being granted. Indeed, most of the arguments made in this motion are rather esoteric or even outright silly. That said, there is one claim by the defense that, if true, completely INVALIDATES the guilty verdict returned by this trial's jury last Friday. Join me LIVE at 3 PM ET to discuss! Torres v.

Today we have a VERY special live guest: Dr. Markus Funk, a law professor and Partner at law firm Perkins Coie. You may recall that back on March 6 I did a show in which I critiqued an academic paper of Dr. Funk's that engaged in a comparison/contrast of US self-defense law with the defense laws of the UK and Germany. Dr. Funk's key point was that although US self-defense laws were wildly perceived as extremely liberal to the defender, in fact they were rather more constrained than were certain facets of the self-defense law of those two other nations. My quibbles with Dr. Funk's paper were mostly differences in perspective on various facets of self-defense law, rather than substantive, but it was a fun exercise for myself and the Law of Self Defense community. Little did I know that Dr. Funk--at the time a total stranger to me--would reach out to discuss my critique, and in a very open and non-defensive manner. We've since enjoyed lunch together--thanks for buying, Markus!--and he agreed to come on the show as a guest--and today is that day! Join us LIVE at 4 PM ET!

The past week or so have seen a plethora of self-defense favorable laws either advance through legislatures or actually become law--sometimes having to override a governor's veto! Today we discuss seven states--North Carolina, North Dakota Kentucky, Oklahoma, Missouri, New York, Florida, and Idaho--that have enacted or advanced improvements to the laws that privilege their residents to use force in defense of themselves, their family, and their property.
