Show Notes
Two recent cases provide good examples of how arguing self-defense works in homicide cases. Andy, Laura, and Joe go through the Rittenhouse trial step-by-step, highlighting key reasons the jury found that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense. Then, we contrast that case to the trial of Gregory and Travis McMichael, and their neighbor William Bryan, who were convicted for killing Ahmaud Arbery despite their self-defense claims.
