Interesting article on juries and their perception of weapons used in self defense scenarios.

I would say the second thing in any self-defense
shooting is to have knowledgeable legal expertise on
your side. I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve read in the jury
studies that the thing that wins the case is what they call
the story model, the story they hear first in the opening
statements. If you have a self-defense shooting, you
want to tell why you were righteously defending yourself.
I think you need a lawyer who understands the nuances
of armed self defense, the nuances of weapons, to be
able to get your story to the jury right away. Make sure
you have a lawyer and expert team that has the ability to
tell your story first.
