Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Leslie Cross discuss what really happens after a self-defense incident — including why you are often arrested even when the shooting is justified, and what comes next in the criminal justice system.
Many people believe that a “clear-cut” self-defense case means no arrest and no charges. That belief is dangerously wrong. In this episode, Emily Taylor and Leslie Cross explain why arrests are common, how prosecutors think, and how your state’s laws can dramatically change the outcome of your case.
They break down the difference between states that offer pre-trial immunity for self-defense and those that don’t — and why that distinction can mean the difference between early dismissal and years of legal hell.
