Re: Chicago: Backside of the "shoot to wound" coin?

I understand and agree with all said. I just find it interesting and surprising that this strategy was used successfully as a defense in the shooting of a LEO. I wonder if the prosecution tried to get that there was a reasonable expectation that by shooting the officer that he could die? I guess it is also worth asking or noting whether or not this was a legitimate case of self-defense against the officer. I don't think that was the case.

I think it is reasonable to expect that a person could die if shot, but was that the intent? I'm still shocked this strategy worked in this case.

Re: Chicago: Backside of the "shoot to wound" coin?

Wow! This is an interesting use of what we are taught in the CHL class. We do not shoot to kill. We shoot to stop.
