I don't know how the SYG rule would stand up to EN either. He's claiming self defense isn't he? Where is the self defense? If anything I would say the Meyers have more of a "right" to claim self defense since they were shot at the 1st time around and EN, in his statement said he wasn't shot at.
So the Meyers, after being shot at the 1st time, now sees the same car who shot at them driving on "their" cul-de-sac, is going to stand out in the street and yell at the car to get off their street????????? ok, I guess if I had too many glasses of martinis that might make sense..
He is going to claim self defense because what else can he claim?
I haven't posted much on this case, but I do read the posts everyday.
I am totally fascinated how anyone could think EN has a viable self defense argument. That has been more interesting to read than the tragic case itself.
First, EN is known to be paranoid according to his friends. Imo, it shows he was up to no good and that brought on the paranoia and if he was doing drugs that would make his paranoia even worse.
So, what if LE has the camera footage of the school parking lot, and it shows no one in the Myers car pointing a gun at anyone? And I do believe Tammy was giving Kristal driving lessons and so does the DA. I thought she and Brandon both did very well in answering the questions in front of the GJ.
If there is footage and it shows no gun was flashed at anytime when T&K was in the parking lot, ENs story will start to crumble fast and I expect it will.
I do believe the jury will believe the Audi driver made threatening statements to T&K. Its going to be a rather strange case because it shows even though EN knows who the driver is he is protecting him from prosecution. That adds to him being a protector of criminals for the Audi driver would be charged with murder also since he was the driver. I think the jury will frown on anyone that protects their homies from prosecution.
Then we have the first shooting scene.
Following behind someone in a vehicle is not against the law. There is no evidence at the first scene that Brandon fired his weapon even though shots were fired toward them repeatedly showing that EN was the
aggressor. Even though EN shot at Brandon he did not return fire showing he was not the aggressive one in this nightmare.
But the first violent confrontation wasn't good enough for EN and the driver. They didn't go to ENs home and cool down. They continued to pursue the Myers car and occupants.
Again the defendant and driver were the aggressors.
It doesn't matter that the Myers home sits on a cul-de-sac or on a rural road. What matters legally is Brandon, and Tammy were back on their own property when the second onslaught of shots was fired by the aggressor (EN) who came to their home with intentions to shoot them.
Brandon Myers had ever legal right to protect himself and his mother. If he had killed EN he would have done so in self defense and IMO, no charges would be filed against him. Sadly, he only fired three shots, none of them striking either occupants of the Audi.
The self defense claim by ENs lawyers is a farce, but I do understand they have to claim something. The self defense law is clear, and the jury will get it, and know in no way was EN defending himself, but was the aggressor/pursuer at the time Tammy was murdered.
EN and/or the unknown driver were the aggressors three times over.
1. Driver cuts off TM and threatens to do them harm.
Aggressive/threats #1
2. EN shoots several times at the Myers vehicle at the first shooting location even though no gunfire was returned by Brandon at that scene. Even EN said the occupants of the other vehicle didn't return fire. EN, by shooting multiple times was the
aggressor. (#2)
3. Then EN and unknown driver purposefully continue to pursue the Myers even though the Myers had retreated to the safety of their own home, and EN opened fire while Tammy and Brandon were on their own property resulting in the premeditated murder of Tammy, and attempted premeditated murder of Brandon. EN and driver were the
aggressors for the #3 time.
Since I have read newer news articles now, I feel Tammy Myers couldn't stand anyone who was a bully. Imo, it was one of her pet peeves. Perhaps she was bullied severely in school herself or her children were, but this is the one thing that would set her off. IMO
I have seen/read other stories about moms or dads confronting bullies that had bullied their child, children or someone in their neighborhood. I have also read of others following people in their vehicle when they felt the occupants had done something wrong.
JMO though.........
