Self defence is an affirmative defence. IOW the defendant has to prove it. Well... you're right, in a sense. But, practically speaking... The SPD has all the elements of the crime of manslaughter. They have not pressed charges, at this point, because they have been presented with a claim of self defense, a claim supported by the only known eye witness. A claim they cannot disprove. As I stated earlier, three of my former students have used firearms in self-defense. None have been charged (Or will be. These incidents were years ago; one of them 15 years ago). Why? Claims of self-defense the police could not disprove. Claims they never proved to a judge, jury, or grand jury.
