No. Camera guy attempted to repel an attacker and thief. The guard initiated and escalated the situation. Per my previous post, camera guy only needs to prove he felt threatened.
Quote:2. He acted in self defense whan he first pushed the officer away. If it had ended there then he would have been fine. His decision to jump they guy and start punching him ended the claim of self defense. He was clearly the aggressor at that point. He was not trying to escape, and the guy was no longer coming at him. That is the end of the self defense claim.
His claim stands. Any knowledgeable jury will side with the defense ... Presuming he has competent council. [/quote]
