This is statement he made to police:This man’s claiming – he believed the girl was breaking into the home. And he’s also saying the gun discharged accidentally,’ Now he cannot have it both ways
He actually could say he thought she was trying to break into the house, but his gun went off accidentally.
It’s possible to be contemplating taking an action, and accidentally carry out that action unintentionally by accident, before you consciously signed off on it.
” he believed the girl was breaking into the home. And he’s also saying the gun discharged accidentally,’ Now he cannot have it both ways”
Sure you could. You could think someone was breaking into your home, arm yourself and go investigate. And as you did so, you could have an accidental discharge killing the person who had you fightened in the first place. In fact, at 4am, scared of an intruder, poorly trained, not normally in that situation in your day to day life,,,, it could very easily happen that you shot them unintentionally.
? How could it not be both ways? He could have had the gun to investigate the “break in” and still have it go off accidently.
“This is statement he made to police:This man’s claiming – he believed the girl was breaking into the home. And he’s also saying the gun discharged accidentally,’ Now he cannot have it both ways”
Sure he can. Let’s say... she was beating on the door, he opens the door to see what is going on, and an enraged drunk attempts to walk in, he fears for his life, is backing up and the gun just goes off accidentally.
See how that works?
Why not?
