BOSTON, police are investigating a parking garage shootout that occured late a few nights ago. Prominent Boston Attorney Denny Crane of the downtown law firm Crane, Poole, and Schmidt was returning to his car along with fellow attorney Jerry Espenson, when he claims a teenager pulled a gun and demanded his watch and wallet. Now recovered security footage from the garage shows the encounter. Boston police and investigating to determine if Mr. Crane's actions meet the criteria for self defense. Detective Rizzoli of the BPD has no comment on the shooting at this time
OK so I made that all up based on this scene from the TV show Boston Legal. Assuming this were to occur in real life, is Denny Crane justified in his actions? on one hand the mugger was armed, however mr crane had surrendered his property, and his shooting to inflict pain on the mugger indicates he may not have believed his life was in danger.... your thoughts?
