Published 3 years, 9 months ago
Description
The Federal lawsuit filed by Kayla Giles against USCCA (and company) for failure to pay her legal expenses in her recent self-defense trial has been dismissed. What's that dismissal tell us about the merits of her self-defense claim specifically, and our perception of USCCA generally?
We also discussed some other self-defense law cases in the news, including:
- A notable police shooting in Colorado of a suspect armed with a BB pistol;
- A remarkably solid overview of self-defense law by a West Virginia prosecutor, reported by a WV newspaper;
- A story out of Wisconsin where police are discouraged from protecting high-school students from violence;
- A Maryland news story describing how a police officer shot and killed a man who bit off the officer's finger;
- Story of Chicago DA Kim Foxx regretfully declining to prosecute to perfectly clean police shootings of suspects;
- Story of St. Louis DA Kim Garnder refusing to charge man who carjacked police vehicle, held officers at gunpoint
- IMPORTANT: Upcoming series of FREE Law of Self Defense "Hard to Convict" webinars!
We also conducted our usual Q&A during the course of today's live show.
