Critical Defense type ammo worth it? Or will Just catch you a case??

THat would be false. Premeditation has nothing to do with using hollow points. Premeditation simply means you consciously made the decision to kill someone. In Georgia premeditation is instantaneous. For example, in the heat of the moment after walking in catching you wife riding some other dude you decide to kill them both, that's murder. Premeditation was evident the instant you decided to kill them, no matter how short of time period.

There are several defenses for murder, one being self defense.

I agree with you, except for what's highlighted.

I know someone personally that killed his ex after walking in on her and another man, and he got charged (and convicted) of manslaughter and not murder. He served a couple of years and got out. Still walking around today I'd imagine.

But I do agree with you that merely having HP's in your gun doesn't make for premeditation of anything.

Oh, I know this case very well. The guy who did it was my mother-in-laws live-in Fiance when I started dating my wife. I'm not going to mention his name, although I could since he's been convicted and it wouldn't be "here-say" but I'll leave it at that. The way the story was told to me, he walked in on his first wife and shot and killed her. If I'm not mistaken, he plead temporary insanity and obviously it worked somehow. He only served a few years and I know he was convicted of manslaughter and not murder.

The guy was an absolute tool. He was a jerk to the end, even towards me, although I didn't put up with it like the others. He and I almost got in a fist fight the day I moved my wife's mother out over water from the water hose. Bottomline is that he didn't get charged for murder, although he was a major tool.
