“The woman was very, very stupid for going outside at 10:30 at night after hearing noises. I am sorry she got shot, but she brought this upon herself.
The deputy was looking for a person wearing a ski mask at night and suddenly comes face to face with a stranger. His reaction is not surprising considering the circumstances.”
So, she was supposed to know those noises might be a cop tha will kill her due to his incompetence?? Cop should be going to prison for this, manslaughter at the minimum.
Since the victim is not dead, a manslaughter charge would be inappropriate.
Assault with a deadly weapon, trespassing, criminal negligence, etc. on the other hand....
