A you make sure you shoot them in the front. 2-3 to center of mass if you are diciplined, or just empty the gun into them until they are on the ground if not. Remember you WANT the suspect DEAD, dead men don't contradict your story. Don't reload Reloading is seen as a break in the "moment of terror," and thus seen as intent to cause harm in nearly all courts. Then the cops show up. REMEMBER AT THIS POINT THE COPS ARE YOUR ENEMY AND WILL TRY TO GET YOU FOR MURDER.

Self defense pleas start with you confessing to the murder. Thus you already confessed to a murder, now you are trying to justify it according to self defense laws. So if you don't do it right, you are fucked.

A successful SD plea requires that: you felt threatened for your life or the life of an innocent. that you did not instigate or escaltate the situation, you took every reasonable measure to calm or avoid the event. that only took the force needed to secure your safty, nothing more.

The cops are going to try and get you to blow holes in one of these and ensure you go to jail for life.

This is why you say "I was terrified for my life, the man threatened to hurt me, I honestly believed I had to defend myself, I want a lawyer" and the STFU in all self defense cases. Then if you have them, you let the emotions out, cry, crawl in the corner and hug your knees, throw up. "Feeling bad" about having to kill somebody looks good in court. Showing emotional hardship post killing a man is only going to help your case. Just don't say shit, whimper, cry, look distraught, but don't give the cops any details or evidence. "I am very upset, I can't think clearly, I need a lawyer" should be your answers to any questions.

THE KEY part is to STFU and get a lawyer. This is 10000% more true if you are white and the dead is black. The cops are going to TRY and get you to slip up and nuke your self defense plea with some silly statement like, "and then I made sure he was dead," or worse "then I got really angry and.." or worst of all "we were arguing and..." They are going to talk you in circles and try and get you to blow holes in your plea. They will appar to be friendly, comforting, just two guys having a chat. DON'T FALL FOR IT. Cops are you enemy when a dead man is on your lawn. Name, address, "I was afraid for my life, I want a lawyer" then STFU.

Remember in all 50 states THEY have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you intended to murder the person. Give them no evidence.
