"David Zeyen, deputy chief counsel in the criminal division of the prosecutor's office, previously told The Dispatch that the law changes are impeding convictions when self-defense is claimed."

Maybe they have been getting too many convictions on self defense cases and they should review the evidence in light of the law before charging.
