Self-defense Is Legal in St, Louis

And the DA hates that. St. Louis jury acquits man who claimed self-defense in fatal gas station shooting

When Humphrey [76-yrs old] left the store, Stewart [33-yrs old] was outside, and the two started to fight. Stewart punched Humphrey at least 12 times and kicked him after he fell on the ground, defense attorneys said.

When Humphrey got back on his feet he shot and killed Stewart, who died, and his father, who survived.

Prosecutors charged Humphrey in January 2020 with first-degree murder, assault and armed criminal action roughly two months later, arguing he had plenty of opportunities to leave without firing his gun.

The DA didn't like self-defense, tried to prove self-defense, and failed.

Because self-defense is a human-right.
