Inside CCW Safe Podcast: Episode 17- Critical Phases feat. Don West

In this Episode, Mike and Stan talk with Don West about the critical phases of a lethal self defense incident.  

They start off with a question from Bruce Gardner about taking images from your cell phone if you are involved in a self defense incident.  They talk about the pros and cons of this, and the alternative of making sure that responding law enforcement officer and investigators preserve the evidence, and giving them the information to do so.  Don also references the Zimmerman case in this discussion, and how photographs were used and not used in that case. 

They talk about the critical phases of a criminal case, and give a great overview of your rights, the stages of investigation, and areas of control, in terms of what you have control over if you are involved in a lethal self defense incident.  

They also talk about attorneys, and what you should expect in terms of attorneys if you are involved in a lethal self defense case.  

In ending the discussion, they determined to have a follow up discussion with Don about the critical phases of a case to dive deeper into each key part of these phases.
