Tyler Wilson was convicted on a charge of felonious assault after
firing a round that he maintains was intended to "scare" a man who
allegedly pointed a gun at him while the pair were engaged in a heated altercation at a gas station. Wilson originally raised a self-defense argument during his trial, but his attorneys abandoned that claim
after the judge overseeing the case suggested it was a legal
non-starter, and the jury who acquitted Wilson of attempted murder but convicted him on the felonious assault charge wasn't allowed to
consider whether Wilson was acting in self-defense.
After his conviction, Wilson appealed on the grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel, based on his attorney's decision to drop the self-defense claim. Wilson's appeal ultimately led to the Ohio Supreme
Court, which was tasked with deciding whether someone is "entitled to
a self-defense instruction for firing a warning shot at an armed
aggressor, or must they [sic] shoot to injure or kill in order to
receive the instruction at trial?”
Progressives don't recognize self-defense until it applies to them. Then
it's too late - they're dead.
According to the state's highest court, warning shots do count as self-defense.
Well done Ohio Supreme Court.
