Thanks. It's always hard to make an assessment from a news report, but on the face of it, things look bad for the defendant (notwithstanding the guilty verdict). On a semi unrelated note, this quote could be used in any number of self defense threads . . .
"Kimball told police immediately after the shooting that he fired his gun after Kelley, who was 6-foot-4 and outweighed him by more than 100 pounds, shoved him repeatedly and forced him to retreat 35 feet. Kimball, who had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, then drew his
.380-caliber pistol and fired three times.
Kelley was pronounced dead at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
The state medical examiner who conducted the autopsy said any of the three shots could have killed Kelley."
