[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 840772, member: 18"] This is completely unrelated to a self-defense shooting which is an affirmative defense. If the police are asking you if you stole a car, it's probably a good idea to invoke your fifth amendment rights. If you shoot another human being in self defense and want a court to agree with you, legal doctrine shifts the burden of proof from the state to the defendant (one of very few situations where you must prove your innnocence) since you are essentially agreeing that you have committed the act the state alleges you committed; You are simply arguing that it was justified to do so. Do whatever you want when your rear is on the line, but don't be suprised if you decide to lawyer up and get the Bernard Goetz treatment.
