Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense in one's home in a desolate area far from law enforcement

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED This may very well be in this case and across the Nation, the most important and the biggest question is. : (Specifically) [If] you live in the middle of the Wood's and/or outskirts of a city or a town, in a desolate place a long ways from the 1. (A) Police or sheriff's dept. 1. (B) As constitutional provisions 2" Amendment. Shouldn't you be legally entitled to keep and bear arms when your not a convicted-felon, to protect yourself and your spouse and family from assault (bodily harm) with a firearm acting as like a law enforcement on your own property? _. 2) When an Indictment states “Murder w/a firearm,” and says a man is shot with a shotgun, should a defendant be convicted (in this case) when there's NO FIREARM that's produced in court of trial?) 3.) Should a defendant be convicted of murder with a firearm (in this case) on circumstantial evidence case with no gun? 4.) Should an attorney pursue a defense of self-defense when evidence exist as such, in the situation as in Stanaland's case. 3. (A) Is it proper to suppress 206 pages of the Defendant's Testimony Evidence that supports selfdefense in a murder case as in Stanaland’s case. In an interview with a cold-case Detective Cris Wensil, when arrested? . 5. (B) Specifically, even though he invoked his constitutional right to an attorney early on in this interview, wouldn't this exculpatory evidence, and direct evidence, explaining what really happened, should have been brought into the trial, is this a violation of due process rights of the Petitioner Mr. Stanaland. : 2
