Or this could all be totally wrong...but I would imagine it’s a hard sell convincing an attorney to file a civil suit against an average guy with a mortgage, kids with student loans, and a car payment. Unless, of course there’s publicity involved, or truly for seeking justice. I’m guessing the family of that black kid executed in the street in Georgia has a five gallon bucket full of business cards from civil rights lawyers who would happily sue those guys into oblivion even if they never recover a dime.
I agree, but not knowing the particulars of the case, my first thought (and I am not a lawyer) is that if you have to chase someone down and then shoot them, it's probably not self defense. Maybe I have the wrong case.
What I am interested in knowing is that for good self defense shootings, how many people get sued in civil court afterward. I don't know that we'll ever get a good answer to this and I'm not sure how to go about figuring out what the number is which is why I asked the question.
