"Good point. In which case(s) were the decision to use hollow points an issue? I ask not to be argumentative, but simply because none spring to mind."
This case http://www.haroldfishdefense.org/
"...the jury falsely believed that Grant Kuenzli was unarmed, allowing the prosecutor to argue that one of the two combatants had a powerful 10 mm gun loaded with hollow point bullets while the other had nothing."
The People made much of the fact that he used a gun "more powerful" than the police use and that he used deadly hollowpoint ammunition. We know for a fact that "powerful guns" and "hollow point" ammunition can and will be used against you so why go there but argue the theory that reloads are bad news for a defendant when no case can be cited in support of the proposition that reloads played a role of the conviction of an innocent person acting in self-defense. I'll stick with my hard cast flat point reloads in "old fashioned" firearms and I'll be safer in court, as defined herein, than the Glock 10mm shooter with "powerful" and "deadly hollowpoints."
