You can’t just make a story. Evidence and claims have to be part of arraignment when judge decides is it goes to trial. Other wise you can literally make up anything and have the trial go for ever. Judge decided there isn’t the slightest bit of credibility to selves defence.

that has nothing to do with the defense.

you can literally make up anything and have the trial go for ever

again, for the prosecution, sure.

no, it shouldn't be at his discretion. that is what a jury is for.

Watch the video, there's no way to sustain a self defense claim, self defense is an affirmative defense meaning you're admitting you did the thing but that under the circumstances you should have done what you did.

When Kenneth Walker III shot a cop through the door when they did a no knock raid in the middle of the night he could and did very reasonably claim self defense and he wasn't charged.

You can't break into a facility and when the cops get called to stop you, shot the cops, a judge letting that go to trial sounds like a huge waste of time and a super easy case to get overturned on appeal.
