“Michele Keiffer, Fredenbergs mother-in-law, is incensed by the recent developments in the case, and has started a petition to change the law. She is trying to gather support on a Facebook page called Justice for Dan Fredenberg, and has posted the petition on the website www.change.org.”
Wouldn't his mother-in-law be the adulterous wife's mother?
Talk amongst yourselves.
You are making stuff up now.
It depends. Ordinary consanguinity or North Georgia consanguinity?
(My apologies to North Georgia)
What question was answered for you? Why do you think someone attacked in their own residence can’t defend themselves legally?
Ah, thank you. Then the notion that he kept advancing is much more believable.
Please never sit on a jury.
Please never sit on a jury.
Did he have a phone in the house to call 911 to report the situation and the time to do it??? If so then just how fearful was he really??? Why did he choose the gun instead of the phone???
Was it daytime???
Just because you say you are afraid for your life doesn't mean you are???
Was he afraid after the first shot??? How about the second shot??? Still afraid???
None of your questions mean a damn thing. The husband was drunk and on the other guys land without permission.
End of story.
Why??? because I think that this should go to a Grand Jury???
No. Because you aren’t thinking to begin with...
That would be three good shots.
Am I??? Check the law on self-defense.
Yes, you are. You have no idea what happened in that garage.
You are drunk and on my property. You are advancing on me through my garage despite being verbally warned that I am armed and prepared to defend myself.
I shoot you until I deem you are no longer a threat. I’m a decent shot, but I’d still probably dump about half a magazine into you just to be sure. That would be SEVEN rounds of 10mm 180gr XTP’s.
Under Castle Doctrine... Your first mistake was coming on my land uninvited. Your second was not leaving when you were told to.
As it should be.
Apparently, Mr. Fredenberg acted stupidly, and paid for it with his life.
Well -- that might very well answer a few questions.
Did he go from the garage into the house to get it? Apparently not.
Was there a door between the garage and the house that could be closed? Immaterial, there is "no duty to retreat".
If so -- then just how fearful was he really?
Only the shooter knows that.
Did he have a phone in the house to call 911 to report the situation and the time to do it?
Doesn't appear so.
If so then just how fearful was he really
Already asked and answered.
Why did he choose the gun instead of the phone?
Because phones are very poor weapons for self defense.
Was it daytime?
Immaterial.
Just because you say you are afraid for your life doesn't mean you are?
Unless you are a mind reader then only the shooter knows.
Was he afraid after the first shot, how about the second shot, still afraid?
In a self defense situation you shoot to stop the threat. If he was justified with the first shot the rest don't matter.
