[QUOTE="donner, post: 4016670, member: 277"] yeah... that isn't really how the first amendment works (as several people here have stated). The government isn't prosecuting him for what he said. And again, his comments were only one part of the trial (and from what i saw, not all of them were even entered into evidence during the trial). In a case like this, showing that someone *might* have sought out the confrontation can directly challenge a self-defense claim from what i read. And Perry's past comments *could* help support that challenge. Again, i'm not a lawyer nor was i following this case. But his comments are not protected by the first amendment as it relates to using them in court against Perry. [/QUOTE]
