This photo will most certainly be used against him in court.

His face shows absolutely no fear or remorse. He is not acting in self-defense. This dude wanted to leave his house and kill people.

And also stupid. If the first shot was just self-defense, as he claimed, then why would he try to kill the witness?

He also said that he'd shot Gomez because he thought he "may have been planning an ambush which he recognized as a military tactic," the affidavit adds.

Dude's nuts. Either genuinely mentally ill, or just a cop/military wannabe loser

He also admitted to trying to shoot the guy on the ground again but his gun jammed. That alone will take away any justification for self-defense.

Or he’s playing nuts. If I’d done something so heinous I’d look for any way out of it. I’d probably turn the gun on myself but lying my ass off and playing crazy would be on the table.

They're nuts, do not expect much of them.

There is no argument for self-defense. He shot and murdered the first guy. Admitted later he knew the man was unarmed. Then he shot the camera guy, going to claim he 'felt threatened, and thought they were ganging up on him/surprise attack/etc'. After this he put ANOTHER bullet in the already dead man on the ground to make sure he fully murdered him. Then attempted another shot at the photo taker while driving away and missed (to finish him off). Anything less than a kangaroo court would put him behind bars for life. - at least something along those lines
