LAWYER: The Legal Issue You MISSED About the Alex Pretti Shooting

from Know Your Rights with Jeff Hampton · host Jeff3t

You’ve seen the clips from Minneapolis. Alex Pretti is on the ground. Agents are on top of him. Shots fire — and within hours, the internet decides the verdict. But here’s the problem: If the bystander video descriptions and sworn witness statements are accurate, this case turns on one brutal question: At the exact moment the first shot was fired… was there an immediate lethal threat? In this episode, I’m breaking down: 1. What the videos and filings say vs what we don’t know yet 2. The deadly force rules that apply 3. Who can charge whom and why the evidence fight matters AND 4. My opinion on whether this shooting was illegal   ❗️DISCLAIMER❗️ This is not legal advice. I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER. Sorry!
