General Discussion

Whatever reasons he may have has for shooting her, defense was not among them.

Shooting the driver of a car heading toward you does nothing to increase your own safety. If the driver is incapacitated, the car is not going to abruptly stop. It's far more likely to simply continue in a straight line (as actually happened) which is the last thing you want if you're trying to defend yourself.

It's literally not an act of defense. It didn't increase his own safety in any way.

Never mind that he was able to just casually walk out of the way. It's not like he had to do an acrobatic leap and roll. It's just plain ludicrous to even pretend this was an act of self-defense.


But yes, the case you cite may be helpful in allowing the jury to consider all the other motives he may have had to shoot.
