No one knows the law like a criminal.
Bottom feeding lawyer.
The attorney needs to be horsewhipped.
Caning of ONEHUNDRED lashes would suffice.
sue the lawyer for bringing such a suit... malpractice of the law.
Counter sue for aiding a criminal enterprise and terrorist acts.
Any chance it was because he was caught trying to steal the shooters car "the early morning hours"?
Yeah, in my current State of residence you could not legally use deadly force against him simply running away or for simple property crime. You can only use deadly force if you believe your life or someone else's life is in danger - including "just" significant bodily harm.
However, the way my house is someone running from me on the ground level, even towards the front door, is also running towards the steps leading upstairs to the bedroom level. If my wife or kids are home, I don't know that he's not heading for the stairs to take a hostage or worse. He's going down. At that point I know he is a criminal, know he is panic'd and not thinking clearly, know he is adrenaline-strong, and I therefore reasonably believe he represents a deadly threat to my family members who he is running towards. End of story.
In Kalifornia, if you get injured during a break-in robbery, can you file for workman’s comp?
Only if you’re an illegal alien.
I would not use my gun to defend property outside my house. That said, I’m not shedding any tears over the perp in this story.
So the criminal had the right to just waltz right in and take what was “rightfully” his? And the normal person didn’t have the right to defend himself?
If the trial is before a jury of women who watch oprah and the view, the homeowner will lose.
Kalifornia mothers and wives shouldn’t have to worry they might not ever see their sons and husbands again
every time he goes out to boost a car, mug senior citizens or loot a store.
Took her quite a while to find a lawyer who would go through the motions, huh.
“Yeah, in my current State of residence you could not legally use deadly force against him simply running away or for simple property crime.”
Here in the wonderful state of Texas YOU CAN SHOOT if the criminal has stolen something from you and runs off of your property and you suspect that he will get away and it will not be recovered.
If you carry and have to defend yourself, you WILL be sued, either by the family, who pretty much are looking to cash in or by the guy you shot, also looking to cash in.
Find a lawyer that specializes in self defense cases, KEEP HIS CARD WITH YOUR PERMIT.
Check your homeowners policy on coverage, add a rider or get better coverage, pronto.
Mine cost me $10K in lawyers fees, but the perps wife didn't get a dime.
I agree with you; the shooter took a big risk in CA shooting someone outside his home. I am not sure I would take that risk in any state.
” I thought I heard him say he was going to get a gun and come back...”
They use to call it “barratry” when a lawyer was overly officious in instigating or encouraging prosecution of groundless litigation and he could be disbarred.
I guess now anything is allowed.
Better call Saul
