[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1776538, member: 18"] If I'm dead, I think my comfort level will be just fine. That said, the burden of proof is always on the state to prove any crime. If the person is asserting self-defense then that is an affirmative defense and the burden is on the person asserting self-defense contrary to what any anti-gun politician, prosecutor, or journalist may write or tell you. This IS how it is and that is well-known by anyone who is informed in these matters. If Zimmerman is to assert self-defense, as he must in any stand your ground case, he must demonstrate that he NEEDED to use force. I have been employed as expert witness or a responding officer in a number of these types of cases and seen it first hand. Anyone who tells you different is either uninformed (no matter their title) or lying. Since you are quoting me in your response, I would ask you to provide some sort of example of where I have expressed "serious misgivings about the government's ability to do anything right". I am confident that you cannot because that is generally not my opinion. As far as your comparison to the ROE, .......come on now.:blah: That's just silly emotional argument. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
