Akira Fletcher had an ongoing feud with another woman, Nyema Norton, culminating in a confrontation where Fletcher shot Norton after an initial altercation had seemingly ended. The case touches on themes of de-escalation, managing emotional responses, and the dangers of following an aggressor. Fletcher’s decision to exit her vehicle and re-engage Norton verbally, after the initial threat had seemingly subsided, complicated her self-defense claim. Her history of animosity with Norton raises doubts about her motives for using deadly force. Her decision to share incriminating evidence on social media further exacerbated her legal challenges. The case serves as a cautionary tale for how emotions, an ongoing grudge, and the failure to de-escalate can severely impact the outcome of a self-defense claim. Steve Moses joins hosts Shawn Vincent and Don West to look at the lessons learned from this incident.…

A 77-year-old man in Oakland, California confronted three would-be burglars in his backyard. While one intruder escaped over a fence, the home defender shot and killed a second, while he held the third at gunpoint until police arrived. Steve Moses and Don West discuss the tactical and legal risks of exiting your home to confront intruders in your yard and the perils of holding a suspect at gunpoint. This defender was initially arrested for the shooting – in part because he didn’t make any statements to law enforcement, including making a self-defense claim.

One of the most common self-defense scenarios armed defenders may confront in their homes is dealing with a potential threat banging on the front door late at night. Many times, the stranger on the other side of the door turns out to be someone who is lost, confused, drunk, high, or injured. Sometimes the potential threat turns out to be a law enforcement officer, perhaps mistakenly at the wrong house. It’s also possible, the person is an intruder who presents a legitimate threat. Steve Moses and Don West explain why opening the door to a stranger at night is a mistake – both from a tactical and legal perspective, and Steve provides practical alternatives for armed defenders who find themselves dealing with an unknown threat at the front door.…
