Murder II can be EASILY crushed by someone like me without legal knowledge.

The DA was working on a Murder 2 conviction, and the defendant claimed "imperfect self defense". The video from the donut shop showed my niece's husband lunging at the perp after he was sucker punched. Seems the 23-year old (and his two friends) was afraid of someone smaller and 35 years older. Disgusting how the criminal justice system in LA sucks. If this trial was in Texas, the guy would be on death row.
