[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 56441, member: 18"] One thing that I probably should add is that if you avoid arrest initially, you are almost in the clear. If you get arrested, it may take a jury to acquit you. Typically if the police don't make a probable cause arrest if the shooter is contacted, there probably won't be any arrest forthcoming. It's not impossible; Just not likely. If a police officer arrests you and the D.A. decides to prosecute, its just sort of expected unless there were some serious problems, extenuating circumstances, or errors. These are not terribly common despite what the media may have you believe. If you are not arrested, then its a lot of work for a D.A. to get a conviction. They will always have to answer "Why didn't the police make an arrest?" and that is very hard to convince 12 people of. I still say, from experience, your best bet is to make sure the initial investigators realize that you are the victim. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
