Self-Defense Is Legal in Cincinnati

And the DA Hates that. Charges dropped in Fountain Square shooting after self-defense claim

This shooting took place in October of last year. It took until this week for a judge to dismiss the charges with prejudice. There was video of the incident.

Now, he was under "disability" meaning that he was not supposed to be in possession of a firearm.

He shot 2 people, who he claimed were about to shoot him. The DA charged him with felonious assault, and improper discharge of a firearm.

"The charges against my client were dismissed with prejudice because after reviewing the internal video from City Bird, it was crystal clear my client acted in self-defense," said Clyde Bennett, Ferguson's defense attorney. "This is what I said from the beginning that my client acted in self-defense."

Now any video reviewed by the judge in the case, was available to the District Attorney's office. But DAs, HATE self-defense, especially in Blue Cities like Cincinnati.

Fountain Square is in the heart of downtown Cincinnati.

The defendant faces other charges, so he is not out of the woods, but he won't face these charges.

And the Hamilton County DA not withstanding, self-defense is a human right, and might just be a legal right in Ohio.
