New Wow, that law *is* worse than I thought
The deLong commenter is wrong, though. The state has *always* had to prove their case against a self-defense claim.

The problem, as TNC points out, is that it used to be enough to show that you initiated the confrontation: after that it's not "defense". Now you can start the fight and shoot it out if you're losing.

How can *any* deadly fight end in a conviction now?
