This is unbelievable. Based on this case, you now have no right to defend yourself or property in Oklahoma....red

That's what I THOUGHT I was reading.

I decided to read the comments before clicking the source.

Both questions, How could this happen .. and .. why did a jury rule this way just baffle me.

Wrong, you do not have the right to switch guns and murder someone that is no longer a threat.

Yes, it is outrageous. Sadly, he has an awful lawyer that went out of his way to alienate the judge—and probably most of the jury pool. I hope he appeals. If nothing else, he should claim that he had an incompetent lawyer.

One has the same right as one has always had in Oklahoma and the law is pretty firm on self-defense in Oklahoma. What is not supported in Oklahoma is cold-blooded murder.

Once you get a guy down and out, having shot him ... what you don’t do in Oklahoma, once your first gun is out of bullets, is walk over somewhere else, get another gun, then walk back to the guy on the ground and proceed to shoot five more bullets into him from the second gun you just got. It’s that second part that is not allowed in Oklahoma ... :-)
