If I were the father of the victim, yes I would be very emotional.
But as the father of the victim, I would not be allowed on the jury.
And as a member of this jury, you have to take the law and apply the facts to the law.
Looking at the law, did he break the law? I don't think it is clear that he did.
He legally had the right to have that gun in his possession.
And legally, I think he retreated TWICE. The only aggressor was the 17 yr old.
Again, I am only looking at the law and trying to keep emotion out of it.
What is really important to me is when the 17 yr old shoved Weiss, spit at him, reached for the gun, Weiss stepped back (he retreated); what happened from that moment of retreat to when he then fired the gun? Until that is answered, I cannot find him guilty.
We are a hung jury at the moment, sorry to say. We are gonna be here a while. Hope the food they bring us and the hotels we stay at (we are sequestered, baby!) are awesome!
