哈哈，标题党了一把。不过在上次让人有点出乎意料的判决后，今天芝加哥这个深蓝屎坑的法官再次让人惊诧。
两个人在酒吧起了冲突，前海军陆战队员Tansey当时已经喝醉，向对方骂出了侮辱同性恋的词语，两人打了起来。被酒吧工作人员制止，并勒令双方离开。前陆战队员先行离开，酒吧叫另一方从酒吧另一个门离开，这样双方不会再碰面。但对方从同一个门出去后追上前者后发起攻击。Tansey一是喝醉，二来退役后不注意身体，变成了肥佬。结果就落了下风，被按在地上暴捶。这是一个第三方路过，就抱住攻击者劝架，然后三个人全在地上滚成一团。Tansey趁机掏出刀来刺伤对方，结果划破动脉致死。同时也刺伤了劝架的第三方，但第三方选择不起诉。然后现在庭审时找不到第三方了，说是在欧洲。
检方说Tansey在赤手打斗中动刀，而且是在有人劝架的情况下，不属于正当防卫。法官最后判无罪，并说了两个有意思的论点
“The State’s argument was that [Tansey] brought a knife to a fist fight, which is true,” Maldonado said, “except the fist fight was brought to [Tansey] first.”
这是说平民自卫也可以使用高一级的武力了？
“The State’s argument was that Mr. Goss was not a suspect but actually he was a good Samaritan. I don’t agree with that. His presence out there is a mystery… [but] I think it becomes a situation where there is now two people out there that are possibly a threat to Mr. Tansey.” “And with Mr. Tansey, with Mr. Paterimos, and Mr. Goss all on the ground, I do think it was objectively reasonable for Mr. Tansey to have brought out that box cutter,” the judge said. 这条是最有意思的，意味着任何第三方卷入纷争，不管其意图是好是坏，都可以被看成是对自卫方的威胁，增加了自卫者动用武力防卫的正当性。
伊利诺伊接连两起命案的判决，都是有点超出常情的对自卫方有利。难道这是对现在检方姑息纵容犯罪导致各种犯罪猖獗的一种潜意识的纠正？
