@TheBrancaShow Nope. Sorry.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@_LaJanee_ Might be a plea deal is coming.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@BrianMcComb83 @AnthonyCumia That is true, calling the pssies and daring them to touch him.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@MarkDavis Stand your ground applies as an aspect of self defense in some cases. They wanted to preserve it. But self defense really doesn't apply at all. Im saying they didn't want to further limit their options, bad as they are.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@MarkDavis The provocation and proportionality elements are hard for the defense to overcome. But they did what they could by keeping stand your ground in play.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@JLBrightLaw The restriction was blade lenght in that location. The knife was legal, the police officer called testified to that fact. As to stand your ground, the defense is claiming self defense, they can say he didn't have to reteat due to syg. But SD doesn't work here.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@JLBrightLaw The defense made sure to keep stand your ground in play with getting the knife was legal and he was allowed legally inside the tent. But it will be hard to get around provocation. All they can hope is to convince the jury he was bluffing to scare them off.

@KwanWhoo It's not illegal to have a 3 inch knife at a school. It is against the schools policies. But its irrelevant in the grand scheme of things

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@BreannaMorello When I was young my brother would make men hit myself as taunt saying "why you hitting yourself", i think their defense was "why is Austin stabbing himself"

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@Benedicta_Bee Stand your ground is just the aspect of self defense that removes the requirement to reteat if possible

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@BreannaMorello I have a feeling we will be greeted with an announcement of a deal in the morning.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@_LaJanee_ I find your recaps and takes interesting.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@Arkypatriot It's against school policy, not Texas statute. The blade would have to be more then 5.5 inches to be illegal.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@RedWhiteBite To the defense attorney credit, they didn't mention race at all. That will help. The crowds have been small outside and there is not a lot of national uproar. But who knows, ppl do like a good riot.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@Notwokenow It's not mentioned because it's irrelevant to the case.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@AyJaySimon @GoldieLocks1776 Aren't smart enough to beat jury duty. Never looked at it like that, classic.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@drinkmoregravy They could be working on a plea as we speak, hence closing without calling Hunter or the defendant.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@SarahisCensored After insinuating Austin impaled himself on the knife, I bet the defenses close will be quite a doozy.

[Brian Barnes @vydor]

@GoldieLocks1776 Taking the stand is risky, but only he can convey to the jury how he feared for his life and he didnt intentionally provoke Austin.
