Re: Chilling Picture Painted By Asst. DA in Self-Defense/Alleged Criminal Homicide Ca
These are all very valid points.
All mainstream news reports were stenographic -- they merely took down what the police told them. Police can put grass is blue and the sky is green in a report, and news media can and would repeat that report. That does not make grass blue or the sky green. In fact, instead of the perfunctory 'No comment; it is still under investigation.' The police made prejudicial statements to the local media right off the bat.
As to disparity of force, Shellhammer also had to consider the possibility of his firearm falling into his attackers' hands.
Actually, I think the pretext of the invitation in the texts may have had a sexual component.
Under Pennsylvania law, engaging in an illegal act (facts which are not in evidence in the case) precludes the presumption of the immediate use of deadly force, not the total elimination of the use of deadly force against death or serious bodily injury.
