**As Dalton Eatherly's counsel, here's the core of our motion to dismiss at the May 26 preliminary hearing:** Under TCA 39-11-611, Mr. Eatherly was lawfully present at the Montgomery County Courthouse for a scheduled debt hearing. He faced an unprovoked verbal confrontation involving slurs/laughter, followed by Mr. Fox initiating physical violence (punch per witness statements and his police interview). He reasonably feared imminent unlawful force, assumed a defensive bladed stance, and used proportionate deadly force only after the assault began. TN law imposes no duty to retreat. The warrant's own timeline (reach → physical altercation → shots) plus video/audio/witness evidence shows no provocation by my client and full justification. No probable cause exists for attempted homicide, aggravated assault, or related felonies. Case dismissed. (Full brief with exhibits to follow; facts, not narratives, will control.)
