In a recent (couple of years) murder trial, the defendent, who was obviously defending himself from an attack by a local man known for violent outbursts, was convicted of murder because he used hollow point bullets "made to kill". Interviews with the jury, mostly women, after the trial indicated the deciding factor of guilt was his use of hollow point bullets. No joke. True story.

The defendent got 15 years in prison.

I sat very still for a long time trying to grasp the stupidity of that jury. The jurors agreed it was self defense, but decided it was murder because of the design of the commercial rounds the defendent used (10mm rounds). The defendent had a carry permit and was about fifty years old without so much as a traffic ticket.

The program was "24 Hours Hard Evidence". You can probably find it online.

It isn't just reloads that will get you into trouble, and a lot of it.
