This Week:
Aug. 30: Moderator Lee, Last week a court in David convicted Ron Mcgrew a retired US policeman of murder. His defense was self defense, yet he was convicted by a 7-0 jury decision. We will not be discussing this case, we do not have the facts. Julio Espinosa, a local attorney and I will discuss Self Defense under the laws of Panama. The goal of this discussion will be to educate and advise you on your rights so further tragedies can be avoided. If you have a weapon in your home or just want to understand the law do not miss this meeting. The meeting will be bilingual so please invite Spanish speakers also.
