Does anyone think if they paid another $200,000 she would have been innocent? And I know she is hot but if she is was found innocent would you date her?
    That's a fuck it and run, and take the condom with you.
    Lest you end up like drake, getting sued for putting hot sauce into his cum in the condom, that a dumb bitch stole out of the trash to impregnate herself with.
    She suing cause it burned lol

    This isn't a good look for USCCA.

    While this particular case seems pretty damning for the member and not so much for USCCA, I am generally not in favor of insurance coverage for legal defense costs that is voided by commission of a crime. Basically the insurance company saves money by seeing their member not well-represented and convicted of a crime which then voids their coverage.

    Then again, it's self-defense insurance. This looks like premeditated murder masquerading as self-defense. Once they figured that out, I can't blame them.

    If the case was in a gray area, I hope they'd go all out to defend their customer.

    I did the same thing. Haven't need it, thankfully.

    It looks like USCCA is not an insurance company, that they have "members", and USCCA purchased some insurance from an actual regulated-by-states insurance company, to cover any payouts. So I guess you have 2 layers of people trying to avoid paying for your trial.

    I'm not thrilled about any "insurer" deciding ahead of time that your shooting was not self-defense, so they needn't pay to defend you, which is a pretty obvious conflict. That's kind of the point, the TRIAL determines self-defense or murder, and your best chance of a good outcome is a fully-funded trial attorney fighting for acquittal, not a claims adjuster seeing if there's a way to abandon you and save his employer money.

    I didn't like the NRA plan, either, which waited for you to somehow get yourself acquitted using your own after-bail remaining funds, and then if you won, they'd reimburse you. That's like seeing someone drowning and handing them a rope if they can get out on their own. The state of NY went after the NRA for something like aiding and abetting crimes or some BS like that, because (a) NY is a Dem satrap that hates the NRA, and (b) funded defense lawyers get in the way of railroading the innocent. NY just assumed that all accused persons were guilty, so insurance that helped them out was illegal. Maybe they lost their copy of the Constitution up there.

    I understand that very few people have savings to cover legal catastrophes like murder trials, and I wish there was a proven solution to this. I guess if you can afford something like insurance, it might help. Maybe.

    Wow! Glad I switched. It takes a lawyer to get through the fine print.

    I have no opinion on any other providers, but every one I've looked at seems to be lacking something. Worst would be "we provide someone who passed the bar in your state, and if you don't like them, good luck on your own".
