It’s all laid out in the opinion. As I recall...
His wife called 911 because he was throwing stuff around. He hadn’t actually hit her.
When the police officer arrived, he said he was leaving (she was throwing him out) and that the officer wasn’t needed. But when the wife went back inside, the husband went to the doorway and blocked the officer from entering while the wife was telling him to let the officer in.
There was a scuffle and the guy tried to get jury instructions entered about blocking illegal entry. These were denied and the guy appealed. I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that the case didn’t really have to go into the illegal entry arena because it was conceded as likely legal entry even in dissenting opinion.
Thank you for the summary. And I’m serious. If you were warrant czar for a day, what laws would you decree?
“decree” is a harsh word. I don’t mean to sound snarky, sorry.
