Dean Cummings Self-Defense Trial Catch-Up Stream

Dean Cummings, once apparently a famous skier, shot and killed Guillermo Arriola on February 29, 2020, in New Mexico.  The two men got into an altercation in Cummings trailer when they argued about a prospective sale of land by Arriola to Cummings.  Cummings claims that Arriola sprayed him with a chemical irritant and tried to kill him, and that Cummings shot Arriola dead with a rifle in self-defense. Cumming is charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, tampering with evidence, and concealing his identity.  His legal defense is self-defense.I only became aware of this trial when it was brought to my attention by @LawTalkWithMike, who invited me on his show to discuss the case, but unfortunately by the time I came across his invitation I'd missed the window. Opening statements occurred two days ago, on November 1, 2022, so we're playing catch up on the proceedings. Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?  BECOME A LOSD MEMBER RIGHT NOW!
