But again, the whole defense in this case was the accidental discharge. Mr. Stanley did not discharge the firearm because he felt he needed to. His position, whether it's the truth or not, was that the discharge was an accident as a result of hangfire due to the earlier warning shots.
At no point, ever, did Mr. Stanley claim that he fired the shot that killed Colton to protect his family or property.

Yeah, sure, I agree depending on the situation. Not this one. This wasn't some cold blooded execution but an unfortunate death. The benefit of the doubt should be with the person who was minding their own business on their own land.
