[QUOTE="travisstorma, post: 3883896, member: 24683"] I’ve thought hard about this and while it could exonerate you, just the smallest inconsistency in your testimony with the video or something that could have done better could be a huge liability to you in the juries eyes. I sat on a jury early this year. People are right that the prosecution will use the video against you, even if it shows you are in the right. They will go frame by frame and will question to the jury why you did something some way when a “reasonable” person would have done it differently. You will likely get a jury where less than half of them (probably less that a quarter really) have any understanding of self defense and firearm laws for the state. The prosecutor can use that to their advantage to steer the video to make it more favorable to them. I’ve seen it happen and it really infuriated me. [/QUOTE]
