YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn 2018 Officer William Darby, accompanied by two fellow officers, responded to the home of a suicidal Jeffrey Parker, who sat on his couch with a gun to his head. After Parker ignored repeated demands to put down his gun, Darby fired a single shotgun round into Parker, causing mortal injury.
Darby would be charged with murder for this shooting. His pre-trial self-defense immunity plea was rejected by the trial judge, and he was convicted of murder at trial and sentenced to 25 years.
This past March, however, Darby's conviction was overturned on grounds of improper jury instructions, and he was remanded for a re-trial. Darby sought immunity once again under the corrected legal standard, in front of a new trial judge, and last week immunity was denied again.
Join me for an extensive recounting of the facts and law of these immunity hearings, trial, and a thorough reading of the appellate court decision reversing Darby's conviction--INCLUDING BODY CAM VIDEO OF THE USE-OF-FORCE EVENT (the video, however, will be streamed only to Law of Self Defense Members, to remain consistent with YouTube monetization policies).
