The American justice system recognizes self-defense as a legal right. But where does the line fall between justified killing and cold-blooded murder? Today’s case explores the moral ambiguity of self-defense killings. Our guest, David Myers, found himself caught up in a longtime feud that culminated in the death of his neighbor. To this day, David claims that he was acting out of self-defense. We’ll examine the evidence ourselves and give David a chance to tell his side of the story. Join us for a story of bullying, neighborhood vendettas, and a messy legal battle on this gripping episode of Voices of a Killer.
