EVALUATION OF PROSECUTION'S CASE (ADVOCATE ALI): Advocate Ali asserts that the evidence, including forensic findings and witness testimonies, clearly indicates the Defendant's intent to kill. The Prosecution argues that the Defendant's actions were not in self-defense but rather an unlawful response to the threat posed by the deceased. 3.
