The jury deliberating William Nelson's fate has to consider whether he is guilty or not guilty of the following charges: attempted murder with additional allegation of attempted murder of a peace officer. They also have the option of attempted voluntary manslaughter.
They have to consider the evidence and ask was this a justified killing? Was Nelson provoked?
During the first set of jury instructions yesterday, Judge Marilyn Miles told the jury: "Out of court statements cannot be used alond to convict him; can only be used with other evidence presented in trial."
Given Nelson's unexpected outburst today in court, that seems prophetic.
