Message: <blockquote data-quote="henschman" data-source="post: 2245073" data-attributes="member: 4235">Guys, relax... his guilt or non-guilt is not what is at issue here.  Just the issue of whether a hearing must always be conducted any time a defendant claims the SYG defense.  The trial judge has already said that it is ridiculous to assert the defense in this case, so if the SCSC makes him give the guy a hearing, it is clear that he will deny the applicability of the defense.  The only issue is whether they have to give him the hearing in the first place.See, without us dirtbag lawyers to explain stuff like this to you, you would be worked into a frenzy any time the sensationalist media prints a story like this!</blockquote>
