“I have not found facts presented to me (in a justifiable homicide case), where I could say, you could retreat in complete safety (using a reasonable person standard), in 25 years doing prosecutorial work. I’m not saying it cannot exist, I just haven’t seen it in my experience,” Shue said.

I have ranted long and heavy about prosecutors eager to throw good people who defend themselves under a combine. So it makes me happy that some come out with more sense that desires to be PC and get a re-election. Sebastian County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Shue is one of them and Arkansas should be happy to have him.
Nice to hear it said by someone in his position. Needs to happen a lot more.
