That depends on the state.  In Texas, the law is ambiguous.  The chapter lists justifications which are exclusions, and also states that a justification is a defense.  But you're still wrong, since neither of those is an affirmative defense.

Self-defense is an affirmative defense in Texas, as it is pretty much anywhere.

Yeah I'm generally okay with that.  Might need a little more transparency with grand juries, but it tends to keep influence in the hands of the people instead of potentially extreme elected officials.

Self-defense is an affirmative defense in Texas, as it is pretty much anywhere.

It's no longer an affirmative defense anywhere in the US, Ohio was the last state. The state is required to disprove self defense beyond a reasonable doubt, the defense isn't required to prove anything. However to get a self defense jury instruction, there needs to be at least a scintilla of evidence that it was self defense, if that's a police interview that the state plays where the defendant says he shot in self defense, that's one way to get it in, another way is to obviously have the defendant testify.

Andrew Branca has talked about these standards quite a bit.

The link the article seems to no longer work but I did find this quote of his.

The Buckeye state remains the last in the country to retain the old model of self-defense as a true affirmative defense, keeping the burden of persuasion for self-defense on the defendant, by a preponderance of the evidence.

I.e. the kind JohnWayne777 was describing to jordanmills in the conversation that I answered.  You're getting into the weeds between section 2.02 (Defense to Prosecution) and 2.03 [Affirmative Defense to Prosecution), which are basically identical except for the burden of proof required.  However both, are more generically referred to as "affirmative defenses" as they are raised during the answer and can provide justification or exclusion even if the prosecutor can prove every element of the charged crime.

The only difference under Texas statute is the burden of proof, as I described previously.  Since I cited the two sections, you can infer I understand it.

What I don't understand is why you decided to get pedantic with JohnWayne777 on specific legal terminology when it was pretty clear what he meant and commonly used that way even among lawyers.  Where were you going with that?  And were you going to continue drag it out all fucking night like you were fucking Perry Mason instead of just explaining it?  In what way was the different burden of proof relevant to the post you answered?

Alas, not surprising that the dead robber was a murderous piece of shit.

The system is horrifically broken and turns violent criminals like this asshole loose on society on a regular basis. He murdered a guy and less than 10 years later he's out generating more victims.

I don't think anyone will be blowing snot bubbles for the dead guy and that will likely help with the optics and political situation the defender is looking at. The bad guy's past isn't germane to the UOF decisions because there's little chance the defender knew of any of that before the event, but it can play into a prosecutor's decision making.

Essentially it boils down to arguing that even if the UOF was excessive, it was excessive on a murdering piece of shit that shouldn't be walking around anyway. "He fucking deserved it" as wide sentiment from the public is incredibly useful to have on your side...but it's not a terribly reliable thing to bet your actions on.

Remember this isn't about feelings. It's about the law, and that anchor, for the entire world to see, will get him convicted. I hope not but we have to be real.

Owner fatally shot in cell phone store robbery in SE Houston

Moments before that murder, the same suspects may have terrorized a woman at a nearby business.

Cecile Rizkalla came face to face with two armed robbers Monday. They robbed her, took her cell phone, threatened to kill her, then locked her in the bathroom at Star Motor Company.

"They were just asking where is the rest of the money. I was like this is it," said Rizkalla.

The 28-year-old mother of two cooperated with their demands, but said they were not satisfied with the business' cash and titles she handed over. She was not sure she would live to tell about it, but was able to get to the phone and call 9-1-1.

"One of them, he was like let me just shoot her. I don't know what the response was," Rizkalla said.

Police believe the same men may have shot and killed the owner of a Boost Mobile store on Telephone Road near McHenry just a half hour later. Hamid Warrich, 62, was shot in front of his wife, two customers and three small children.

Warrich had cooperated and given cash to the two masked men, who also robbed his customers, but when he reached for the panic alarm button one of the men shot him. The suspects then ran around the corner to a getaway vehicle and fled the scene.

Around the area and state: 3 face murder charges in store shooting

Three men have been charged with capital murder in the fatal shooting of a southeast Houston cellphone store owner during a robbery.

Brandon Johnson, 23, Johntay Gibson, 18, and Eric Washington, 20, are being held without bail. They are charged in the Feb. 19 shooting death of Hamid Waraich, 62.

Police said two men wearing masks forced their way into Waraich's cellphone store in the 5300 block of Telephone and demanded cash.

Houston police said Waraich was shot even though he cooperated with the robbers.

Police said the gunmen went to a drive through at a fast food restaurant after leaving, and also used some of the property taken from the store.

Houston police later found the car used in the robbery and tracked down Johnson and Gibson. They were arrested on Jan. 21. On Thursday, police arrested Washington.

Gibson v. State

Gibson was the shooter, Washington was the in-store lookout, and Johnson was the driver.

The anchor shot is not a good look for sure, but this is now POLITICAL.  The HCDA may, or may not want to dip his toe into this considering how positive the comments on the shoot video is with folks. Remember, this robbery happened to his core voting base.

The DA may ignore it entirely, or come up with some BS plea bargain.  Full blown trial?  Not seeing that happen at all.

Now, things may really go sideways if for example, the shooter is a parolee, but even then a trial is unlikely.

Looks like the DA is at least punting to the GJ, even if only to give himself political cover since the outcry seems to be near universally positive.
If you got indicted in this case would you invoke the speedy trial law to have it fresh in the jury's mind?

To paraphrase a famous community organizer, "If Sylvester Turner had a son."  


Had his prior cap murder conviction plead down to agg robbery in 2015....he or his accomplice murdered a 62 year old store clerk.  He got 15 years but somehow is out walking around. Out in PR bond for assaulting his GF... wow, what a surprise in all counts.  Absolutely no one is upset that piece of excrement is dead. I bet the responding officers paid his dinner tab.
