I'm so outraged I'm THIS close to sending someone an email about this!
Gotta love how the MA "justice" system assumes that a person with no weapon is somehow not a threat justifying deadly force. It's a load of crap.
What gets me is the automatic presumption of guilt. The fact that he stabbed someone is being taken as prima facie evidence of his guilt and now HE has to prove it was self-defense. That's not supposed to be how it works boys and girls.

While we certainly do need a new AG, that wouldn't help in this case. The DA is the one who has decided to bring charges, and the DA doesn't report to the AG.pathetic. Time For a new A.G.! maybe a decent Dem would have the stones to run against Martha next time around.
We have atleast one good thing about Self-Defense in CT Law...
When raised as a defense at a trial, the state has the burden of disproving self defense beyond a reasonable doubt (CGS § 53a-12).

This folks, is the reason our nation is headed straight into the shi**er. People like this cretin. The only way their minds will ever be changed is if they've dealt with a third world justice system.

Don't discount the cops here. Having had some personal experience with evidence reports I can tell you that they could get an indictment on Mother Teresa if they so desired. Anything and anyone can be twisted into supporting any particular point of view when you have no standards or review of these reports. The statie at the scene made some public comments that made it clear he was disgusted.

Yeah I've seen some police reports that were essentially 180 degrees from what actually happened.
Several years back the Globe did an investigative article on car accidents involving MA state troopers. They have hundreds of car accidents per year (not surprising, considering the amount of driving they do). In the years that the Globe investigated, not a single state trooper was found responsible for a car accident -- it was always the other driver.I used to handle auto claims many moons ago. There was a long standing joke that if the accident involved a cop, even off duty, the cop could be drunk, blind and running a red light yet the guy he hit was always in the wrong on the police report.

So, this is becoming more clear now.
The "victim" (Michael McDevitt) is a personal injury attorney. He is going to be charged with A&B on a person over 60. Mr. Colum Flaherty, the dangerous 3.5 in pocket knife wielding "attacker" was at a significant disadvantage, when his "victim" is an attorney, in dealing with the cops on the scene. I really hope someone gets a clue here.
