8. I doubt Roeder will get these documents. They might play a role in a necessity defense, but
the judge ruled out a necessity defense last month

A "voluntary manslaughter" defense must be based on his "honest" beliefs at the time that he was protecting someone against an immanent threat by gunning Tiller down in church, and it's really rather unclear how documents he hadn't seen then could have contributed to his beliefs
