Give me a break! The guy was defending his life against 4 < muggers! Lets prosecute the criminals not the victims. It has not been established that Goetz was defending his life. From the reports that I have heard, the screwdrivers were not brandished. Goetz became a criminal when he shot the 4 and ran. Maybe even before the incident if his gun was not registered. Sure the 4 should be prosecuted, but so should Goetz. Self-defense is one thing, what Goetz did is another. Terry Bermes
