>Selecting a jury in Taylor’s case was tricky. There was a raft of potential bias or conflict of interest... Half a dozen potential jurors had concealed-carry permits, all reportedly for self-protection.
God forbid the jury include anyone who's ever had to mentally grapple with the possibility they might be in a situation like that.
The whole trial smells of a prosecution that has lofty and unrealistic ideas about the immediate relevance of its authority in BFE.
Last time I checked murder required intent. I don't see intent here.

The one where you move to a remote wilderness locale, ransack your neighbor's property, and then shoot him twice in the back? Or the one where you fatally misjudge the shotgun wielding newcomer you're trying to bully? Makes me glad I live in civilization. Think I'll pop down to Wawa for a soda.
