100%?
And you call me a moron!
Good luck hitting that percentage point.
The defense can concede that tubbie was the initial aggressor (pursuit).
They can then turnaround and claim Skittles got the upper-hand and put tubbie in fear for his life and was prevented from escaping 'cuz Skittles was riding him cowgirl style.
It satisfies the statute. Now . . . sell it to the jury.
Ceding the initial aggressor point will not necessarily erase the visceral feeling of injustice.
Yeah, sport . . . the initial aggressor is the lynchpin for this case.
