So, Skans, what if all the factors indicate the self defense shoot was justified?
If all factors indicated the shooting was justified, I'd probably vote to acquit - but the fact that the defendant had drugs in his system at the time of the shooting would be a relevant factor for me to have to consider.
Would you vote for manslaughter just because the shooter had legally used cannabis at some time in the past?
At some distant time in the past? No, it wouldn't be a factor for me. But, if blood testing showed recent use, it would definitely be a factor for me. My experience with heavy pot smokers is that they have a very skewed perception of reality.
Would you vote the same way if the shooter was an alcoholic?
Recent use of alcohol would also lead me to believe that the shooter's judgment was impaired.
