I have not posted --- just reading but since I haven't seen anyone mention this; he had to take off the safety before he fired. It was not an accident or reflex. Both the state and the defense firearms experts talked about the safety
That is an excellent point! Did the prosecution bring that up?
If he thought the gun was unloaded and only intended to "scare someone" why take the safety off? Why mess with the safety at all? And who on earth would put the safety ON an unloaded firearm? He also mentioned taking the safety off when he told his story on the stand. Why even mention it?
In my mind that is probably the most damning evidence so far that he is lying about it being an "accident with a gun he thought was unloaded". I don't like the lying part, especially really blatant stupid lies.
