Did this a while back. My mother and her 5 brothers, and three of five sister did this. My in-laws did. My wife has. I’m gonna go to work tonight and have them as well.
You’re absolutely right. They’ll go over how you shot and killed a man. If you’d do it again. What precipitated the event. Of course. However, if they can chip away at your integrity and the jury’s view of you. Then they’ll win.

Your defense attorney will do everything to get you out, but he’s got a lot of damage to...
Oh, my apologizes. (Depending on your age and the age of the jury, you may look like an all-knowing asshole.) M&P. You must’ve put a lot of time and money into that gun. I mean, it’s so modified. The only thing meeting factory specifications anymore is the frame. So really, Glock, M&P? What’s...
