Who's going to argue that head smashing into concrete isn't a reasonable fear?
Sure, there's room for improvements in a lot of laws like gun policies and Stand your Ground. Don't think they would have changed anything in this trial (outside of removing the gun from his hands altogether and then it's possible he ends up dead and gun polices go the other way). Might as well be arguing about drug laws and minimum wage.
