Shooting carjackers after they are in your car is a legally risky move. I’m glad for the country that she did it and glad for her that it worked out. Two thugs out of circulation. It’s a small start, but at least it’s a start.
While she was morally justified in shooting, I am a little surprised that the law agreed. Once they took off, her and the kid’s life were not in danger (it would seem).
Who takes their kid to a parking lot to meet strangers for the sale of a car? Not good judgement on her part.
Also, it’s a pretty good bet that she could get sued in civil court by the family of the thief.
” and glad for her that it worked out.”
She is not out of. the. woods, yet.
All her personal information was in the car and the carjackers were armed, even driving away, they still were a tthreat to her family’s safety.
