Depends what was in the case presented for him to prosecute. No, he wasn't there. He also didn't "make up" anything. Did the farmer talk to the Police at the time and explain self defence, or did the prosecution have nothing from him, but an unarmed man shot to death....?

Just something to consider.

Good shot, well done that man... he deserves a DB.... and a medal.

That is more like the "correct" answer... There are circumstances where it is acceptable to use a gun in self defence.

However, when you are in front of 12 of your peers and they ask themselves what a reasonable person would do in that situation and the only answer they can come up with is "use the gun" then you are likely to get off.

This is spot on. Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
