Joseph Garon a fellow prison inmate made death threats against Jason Kerr. After Garon told Kerr that he was going to “smash his head in” Kerr concealed two weapons in this pants. When a fight broke out Kerr stabbed Garon in the head which killed him. This is a public law case (controls the relationships between individuals and the state) involving criminal law (the body of public law that defines crimes and punishments) and the court came to a decision in 2004. I do not agree with the court decision to acquit Kerr on both charges of second-degree murder and weapon possession. They should have still charged him with second-degree murder but not with weapon possession. I agree and think the weapon possession is reasonable for self-defense
