jury, unless it was patently obvious that the defendant set the whole thing
up in order to kill someone).

  By the way--no lawyer worth his shinola would allow you to remain on that
jury, of course.

That's not my problem ;-)



  Like putting a bread knife in the dead man's hand, for instance?   ;^)

Nope, I'd accept that - I mean like calling someone and asking them to come
over, shooting them, then going out front and kicking in the door to make it
look like a burglary.

  So you are in fact advocating the falsification of a crime scene?  I
trust, than, that if you get into a fistfight and accidentally kill your
opponent, you'd have no qualms about arming his corpse to make it look like
you were in greater danger?

There'd be no need - if I killed someone in a fistfight, it would be equal force as
defense.  And if I killed them, they couldn't argue about who started it.  Not that
I'd get involved in a fistfight, I've pretty much avoided them since gradeschool,
as I tended to mess the other person up too much.
