The idiot Indiana Supreme Court made a ruling about castle doctrine, and not one time in the ruling, did they mention the castle doctrine statute, and you call the defendant an idiot?

-- I think the ultimate effect of the ruling will be minimal. --

Yes, it only affects people who resist unlawful entry by the police. They can't justify any resistance to the unlawful entry, as a matter of law.

-- Your Castle doctrine defense will still be available --

Did you read the opinion?

Because we decline to recognize the right to reasonably resist an unlawful police entry, we need not decide the legality of the officers' entry into Barnesas apartment.

Did you read the opinion?

Yes I did. The second opinion modifies the first. The second opinion is controlling.

Are you a lawyer?
