It Took This DA a VERY Long Time to Decide Self-Defense Is Legal

Could it be because DAs HATE self-defense? Butler Island Road shooting death ‘justified’

The May 2025 shooting death of a 19-year-old Autryville man has been ruled a justifiable homicide, 5th Prosecutorial District Attorney Ernie Lee said earlier this week.

Ten months. I doubt it took the cops 10 months to complete their investigation. I doubt it took 10 months for the autopsy to be completed. I believe that it took 10 months for the DA to make this determination because the DA hates self-defense, and in that time he was looking for any excuse to bring charges.

What follows is from a statement from 5th Prosecutorial District Attorney Ernie Lee.

The general rules of self-defense and defense of others in North Carolina allow for the use of deadly force when the individual actually, or honestly, believed in the need to defend himself or others from death or great bodily injury and the individual’s belief is reasonable considering the circumstances as they appeared to him at the time. From the facts and circumstances of this case, the individual who shot the fatal shots was justified in using deadly force to defend himself and others from death or great bodily injury by Guin, who had already shot and wounded one individual.

Self-defense is a human right.
