Near the end of jury instructions, Nelson went over justifiable use of deadly force (not sure of the statute number though).
Before O'mara's closing, I'd have thought 2nd Degree Murder would have been a Skittle supporter fantasy.
Not now.
As to Nelson's jury instructions, I'll need to read a transcript as I didn't hear any of 776.
I now understand Dan Abram's point in his article: Self-defense law and SYG are NOT synonymous.
