Here is a question that this case has created in my mind. Is the act of drawing a gun to defend yourself and then shooting the gun a single act or two separate acts? I mean legally. I wonder this because when the pusher began retreating, it was as the shooter was reaching for his weapon. So did he back away before the act of shooting began, or did he back away after the act of drawing/shooting began. I guess maybe this will be answered at this trial (assuming there is one).
