The homeowner was within his rights to fire on an intruder. I would add, though... That it’s a good idea to put LIGHT on the subject just before pulling the trigger. They didn’t know this girl was just drunk and no particular threat. A flashlight might have revealed that without having to take the shot.
So let me get this straight. They just shot her in the dark without knowing who it was or if the person meant harm??? Then turn the lights on??? Something doesn't make sense here.
If they had turned the lights on and seen this harmless wayward waif wandering into their bedroom, would they have still shot her??? Maybe that is what really happened. Do the lights in their house only go on after a gun is fired???
These people need a flashlight or a better story.
seriously, lock your doors, or maybe close your doors and if you don't want to do that, at least get a noisy dog...it's just common sense...
I'm not buying that they make these charges to get people "help" for alchol drinking....
the courts will waste a hundred thousand dollars bring this girl to trial.....why not just sit her down, offer some misdemenor plea, community service, etc. and go after the rapist and murderers...
Not guilty. This nitwit has been through enough and should not be prosecuted
BUMP that..
I doubt there is much crime in Boulder. Maybe they want to prosecute to keep the system churning and providing employment for prosecutors, defense lawyers, guards, clerks etc. Lots of people livelihood is dependant on crime
Oddly enough, I once did this. Many years ago on Martha’s Vineyard I was drunk as a skunk. I got lost I guess but eventually found my way out of the house. Lucky that!

More on Zoey....seems like a girl of her age having some fun. You are only 21 only once
And so the homeowner has to wait to find out whether the midnight intruder that awakes them, means them harm?
I do not think so.

More on Zoey and more photos....seems like a girl of her age having some fun. You are only 21 only once. I think she has learnt her lesson.
“These folks live in a $2.75 Million dollar home, she has been stalked in the past by a schizophrenic, AND THEY DO NOT LOCK THEIR DOORS!!”
Apparently the stalking ended 18 years ago.
You neglected to include the sarcasm tag.
Granted, drunks shouldnt be wandering around at night, but this just doesnt sound right.
That was my first impression too until I read they were both psychiatrists. Psychiatrists are twice as likely to be crazy compared to the general population.

Welcome to the warped world of Boulder, Colorado - where stalked psychiatrists seem not to lock their doors at night. Those homeowners are fortunate only a drunk student walked in. Had it been a bear or a puma, things might have been rather different.
There is a reason I dubbed that place the home of Boulder Dementia Syndrome (BDS).
That place is a bubble of Liberal insanity surrounded by reality.
I highly doubt that she would be even the least bit interested in your "offer".
The court wants money(fine).....no other reason to pile on.
She already suffered enough for her youthful stupidity.
Yes. If you take the time to find out who the intruder is, you might be the one who gets shot first.
Assistance in doing what?
