Until I can feel assured they won't get shot willy nilly for shits and giggles - no need for them to be in that low element.

This is false, the jury will have to deliberate on a ABSURD proffeing of "reasonable fear"

Unfortunately it's the same inept prosecutors office on this case as the Zimmerman case
