A person in Missouri was recently found guilty of manslaughter for continuously shooting at his attacker after his attacker was shot once and fell to the ground. The Missouri court stated that once the attacker fell to the ground and was unable to move, the attacker did not need to be continuously shot. This case shows that defending yourself can be taken too far, thus making you the attacker and the criminal.
