Well, the entire point of the castle doctrine laws is just that, to make it more difficult to charge and convict a person who has acted in self defense. Especially in the home, against a person who does not reside in that home.

Taking advantage of the Castle Doctrine means you give up a trial (provided it's just prosecutorial discretion we're talking about), so if other evidence is discovered downstream, you can still be tried.
Fraud is also an angle here ~ take the wife, invite the guy over, shoot him in the garage three times (must have really been advancing ~ 3 shots?) ~ let's see what happens later on ~ this could be one smarmy mess yet.
Situations like this cry out for the use of water-boarding on somebody. We really need the truth.

I disagree. While I don’t condone his actions with the mans wife, the husband sought him out in his own garage on his property. Had it been where the husband caught him red handed so to speak, yes.
The husband handled this poorly and paid for it with his life. He came to the fight, the fight did not go to him.

Since when does unarmed mean not at all dangerous in any way whatsoever? The left would REALLY like to advance that narrative in order to justify their lie that "if no one but the police had guns, no violence would occur".

My 102 year old grandma says it is always the womans fault, because a woman can always run faster with her dress up than a man can with his pants down.

A Grand Jury should make that call.
To: muawiyah
I don't believe you are giving up the trial. You just have to have more than a shooting to go to trial. Shooting in itself is not grounds for an arrest or trial.
Presumed innocence, right to defend yourself, right to shoot before calling the police who may not come for 20 minutes. It all seems reasonable to me.

Wrong. The husband was trespassing with intent to at least confront the other man. The husband initiated the attack.
Game over.

If it were up to the gun grabbers the law would require the shooter (defender) to have been beaten severely and on the verge of dying before he could shoot an unarmed man.
Only then, could it be proven that his life was at stake and to shoot was finally “earned.”

To: sergeantdave
while prosecutors in the state say theyve become increasingly hamstrung by a piece of 2009 legislation that makes it more difficult to charge cases in which self-defense issues are raised.... Prosecutors only want cops to be able to murder peasants in cold blood.

The husband was trespassing with intent to at least confront the other man. The Castle Doctrine does not exist so that you can kill someone who is confronting you verbally.
To: Uncle Chip
You are on my property. I tell you to leave, you keep coming...
You are done for.
As it should be.

“Killed the guy three times??? “
He should have left after he got killed the first time.

I hope that you face the same reality as the shooter does sometime in the very near future.
As a matter of fact, I wish for someone to come over to beat the crap out of you since I have a warm fuzzy feeling that no matter what, you would not shoot to protect yourself due to the heavy thinking and contemplating required while being beat to death in whether this is truly a beating that may maim or kill you.
Hell! You just might ask him how badly he wants to beat you to or which bones he will be breaking.
Just then, maybe you might have just enough common sense to pull the trigger.....on second thought, with you....no!
