The story says she shot him after he was out of the house. That make it tough on her. If he’s in the house that’s one thing, but if he’s fleeing the scene and is already outside the house, ouch.

I’m with you, Red. I would vote to acquit if she’d shot him in the bedroom. But she marched him out and executed him in the front yard. No bueno

Maybe she didn’t want to clean up the mess
