Defense attorney Phil DiLucente argued that the shooting was self-defense even if his client’s fears were mistaken. But Allegheny County Assistant District Attorney Edward Scheid called the self-defense argument “meritless” and told jurors that premeditation can form in an instant.

"premeditation can form in an instant"
WHAT A LIE!
I wonder what Massad Ayoob, expert witness in the field of self-defense, would say about such a spurious claim. This is like saying that pre-planning an event can occur in an instant. No, it can't, by definition. But I get it, the Only-One-Protector wants all self-defense to cease.
This person probably does deserve to serve some time for using the "cop"-out of "I thought he had something in his hand". BUT - if he was sentenced based on the ridiculous "instant premeditation" statement from this pondscum prosecutor, it needs to be fought so that this doesn't become precedent that can be used to send other people to prison.
This could be extremely dangerous if accepted as precedent, and you can bet your booties this Alpha Hotel prosecutor will continue to use it every chance he gets.
