The priest was a molester. Self defense stands.
The lawyer should have understood but his ego was too big.
shareThe lawyer should have understood but his ego was too big.
shareClient claims he was innocent, they had no evidence of self-defence at the time, and so that wasn’t the plea.
shareOh, in the courts you mean? That's irrelevant as he beat that system. No, what matters is that his actions were righteous, as he was molested as a child/saw others molested.
shareWhen you say ‘self defense stands’ you’re referring to what would have got him off in court, are you not?
If his plea is that he’s innocent and not involved in the murder, then he can’t later change it to ‘self defense’.
Nah, I was referring to personal judgment. Do you agree that the priest had it coming?
share‘Self defense stands’ doesn’t make sense outside of the court context, if not the court then where does it ‘stand’?
You also say ‘The lawyer should have understood but his ego was too big.’ Why should the lawyer have understood if not to help his court case?
Ironically, it looks like you’re changing your ‘plea’ now.
What a limited world view.

Well, there's 'self-defence' and there's self-defence. There's also such a thing as excessive self-defence - forgot the actual legal word for it, but you are NOT allowed to murder someone in acceptable self-defence.
I guess in USA, you can murder an intruder in your house (not that it's lawful, but at least it's legal), but that's about it. Unless the circumstances are extreme, you are not allowed to take someone's life in self-defence - your life is not more important than theirs in the eyes of the law.
