[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3117977, member: 13624"] Based only on the story, it sounds like his lawyer wasn't familiar with firearms or self-defense cases. The super-powerful 10mm and hollowpoints could [I]easily[/I] have been mitigated, and someone familiar with self-defense cases would have seen the spin the prosecutor was (successfully) trying to apply and turned it into a neutral at least, if not a positive. Hollowpoints are safer because they reduce penetration, and 10mm because that's bear country, so he was acting responsibly toward what he believed was his more likely threat--he didn't go out looking to shoot a person, he was concerned that he might have to shoot something far more physically dangerous. I hate to be an armchair quarterback, especially when all I have to go on is the media portrayal, but I definitely got the sense that the defense lawyer was a bit out of his element here. [/QUOTE]
