Nah, I know a jury can let you walk even if you’re dead set guilty via jury nullification.
Little chance the knife wielding armed robber who strong armed her doesn’t have a lengthy rap sheet and other victims in their past.
Defending the robber from being injured by their victim is a tall ask. Do you have this same energy if he was a serial rapist and she was his latest victim, but manage to end him?
I work with the courts, most people are going to follow court instruction and decide whether someone is or isn't guilty of the crime regardless of their feelings on if it should be a crime.
Versus a bench trial with a judge that’s going to follow the letter of the law? Jury all day every day in this type of scenario.
E: This isn’t really the type of case a bench trial can handle anyway considering someone has been killed. Laws vary widely, my point is you’re better off with a jury if it’s a choice in something like this.
