He truly felt great. by Daniel Herbert

He truly felt great.

Video by its nature is two dimensional. It distorts images. So what appears to be clear on a video sometimes is not always that clear.

The reason my client Jason fired his weapon that evening back in October 2014 is that he truly was in fear for his life as well as the lives of his fellow police officers.

Video by its nature is 2-dimensional. It distorts images. So what appears to be clear on a video sometimes is not always that clear.

People viewing this videotape will have the brilliance and benefit of hindsight 20/20 vision, this is not a murder case, despite what you heard in the courtroom. It's truly not a murder case, and we feel that we will be very successful in defending this case.

He knows in his heart of hearts that his actions were appropriate... by Daniel Herbert

He knows in his heart of hearts that his actions were appropriate.

He's scared to death, but more than himself he's scared for his wife, his two kids, he knows in his heart of hearts that his actions were appropriate.

At the point which my client confronted Mr. McDonald, my client was aware of the fact that the individual (McDonald) had not complied with numerous police orders to drop the knife.
