| OK, so if a preponderance of the evidence says he's innocent of any wrongdoing, can somebody explain why the Coffee County Persecutor was trying to convict him of murder? |

| Well Mickey, most likely because the prosecutor in this case wasn't representing the State within the confines of the law as written, but rather as he, personally, would like it to be. Too many judges and prosecutors have this mindset: they are activists for specific political positions, not neutral functionaries. After all, "shall not be infringed" has morphed into "may be infringed at the whim of politicians, prosecutors, and the courts". |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
