The short of it:
-Former Recon Marine John Knospler is sleeping in his car outside of strip club. Attacker attempts to enter car, waking Knospler. Knospler attempts to drive away (supported by traffic accident reconstruction report prosecution paid for). Attacker smashes window of car and is reaching into the car when Knospler draws 1911 and fires single shot, killing the attacker.
-Prosecution argues that Knospler fired at attacker first, and the attacker did not break the window. This theory is not backed by the forensics. Both the injuries on attackers hand/arm and the way the window broke indicate attacker punched through window. The entry angle of the bullet indicates attacker way leaned forward when shot, and the entry wound didn't show any deformation or tumbling as one might expect when a HP strikes a hard surface before entering flesh.
-1911 had a stovepipe as if the attacker had gotten a hand on the weapon or otherwise blocked the ejection of the spent case.
-The jury foreman was formerly employed at a law firm where he worked with the DA's wife. Other jurors came forward after the fact and said that foreman dominated the discussions and didn't allow others to discuss any theories other than the one presented by the prosecution. (How the hell the judge, let alone the defense, allowed this is beyond me)
-DA removed original prosecutor that wanted to drop the case. He was hell-bent on charging Knospler for some unknown reason.
-Attacker had child and beastiality porn on his phone. Not relevant to the event itself, but the world is a better place without sick fucks like that.
-Knospler has been in prison since 2014. Preliminary evidentiary hearing being held next week after appeal to Wyoming Supreme Court. One hope is that the stand your ground law Wyoming passed in 2018 will be retroactively applied.
