William T. Woodward is facing murder charges for the alleged shooting of three people on Labor Day, two of whom have now died.

He also invoked the “Bush Doctrine,” the foreign policy Bush used to justify aggressive military intervention, to argue that pre-emptive attack can be a form of self-defense.
