Re: 'Equal Combat' or similar worded LEO stmts

Why do you think that this defense would not apply to a family violence incident? Family violence is an enhancement, not a separate offence for assault. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something you're referring to?

Alternatively, you can usually access Nexis through many county law libraries without being a lawyer. Of course, just finding the cases isn't the same as understand...

Re: Understanding 3142

I believe they did not give you the correct effective date. The bill received the required votes to override the constitutional 90 day requirement and should take effect upon signature.
