Not that I know of. But some lawyers at firms are former prosecutors.
But I see your point. This -- like other cases -- will come down to interpretation of the law. It will come down to the defense saying a threat was still posed by his attackers trying to get up while the prosecutors will say he went beyond the law.
It is up to defense to convince the jurors that the prior actions of the thugs led his client to believe they were trying to get up to continue an attack. The prosecutors will try to convince the jurors that the metal rod turned the thugs into carebears who were only trying to get up to show some love.
I don't think they'll go that route. I think they'll just say he went overboard. Carebears, the sex of the people. None of that really matters. Did he go overboard in his defense? I'm still holding to yes.
