I was attacked at work by 2 gang members robbing the store. I was unarmed and they were going to shoot me. After a struggle I survived but one of the robbers did not. I did everything I was supposed to do, called 911 immediately. But now I face a murder charge. The guy that died was a 3rd strike felon who just got out of jail and was ready to kill me. The justice system is utterly confusing for a person who has never been in this position. Thank you for your video. I hope I do not spend the rest of my life in prison
The only jury I have served on so far is a civil trial. I would enjoy the learning process of a criminal selfdefense trial. Because their is so much more that go on in the courtroom. I enjoyed my full paid time off.
It might be useful to mention the concept of "survivor's guilt," and ask jurors if they have ever known someone who was wracked with guilt over their parents' divorce, or their grandma's cancer diagnosis. Would it be fair to put them on the stand and make them prove they *didn't* cause grandma's cancer?
It took me months and several meetings before trial to get my lawyer to see my innocence . Now you have to convince 12 strangers in a few days.. I was found guilty 11 to 1.

I pray there was video. The police love to suppress exculpatory evidence.
You're an excellent attorney and speaker, Mr. Hampton. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for this video - helped me get the panel talking their truth in a self defense case I was taking to trial. These techniques were very helpful!!
This is the best most precise video I've watched.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Amen… I want you as my lawyer!

Would it be self-defense Just-as-if-I-did (Justified) it? Sun-Tzu Victorious warriors win first then go to war.
More I listen to this stuff, more I don't want to be a juror.
If you the right to remain diligence, then by logic you have the right to be noisy.
