In the infamous handicap-parking activist/shooter case, Drejka, the defendant, may have a substantial problem in that his statement to the police does not match the handy video from the security cameras.
Also, this looks to leave him with some trouble as to the elements of his self-defense claim, because the video shows the unarmed decedent stepping back, not "running at" Drejka as Drejka had claimed. Of course, his lawyer doesn't want the jury to see Drejka as dishonest, so he plans to argue that this was Drejka's "honest recollection," though shown by the video to not be what actually happened.
I don't think this argument gets Drejka out of the woods, because misremembering the facts after he fatally shot somebody does not establish the elements for self-defense. Even if Drejka takes the stand and testifies that he honestly but delusionally perceived the decedent to be "running at" him when he fired, that isn't going to ring the bell unless the jury concludes that such a belief, contrary to the actual facts shown by the video, was "reasonable." Also, the jury may be inclined to dislike Drejka because he basically picked a fight over a parking dispute in order to shoot somebody, and he has an established prior pattern of setting up similar incidents. They may well conclude that it is just better to get him off the street, and they have at their disposal a ready means to achieve this.
