I hope this Dad gets many many years in prison. He shot someone in cold blood. He was not a stranger in the house.
He shot am intruder messing with his minor daughter, I would vote to acquit, although I doubt this goes to trial
I guarantee you the father did not shoot this kid in cold blood.
What you really mean is that you do not believe that he believed his daughter.
The real question is did he really believe the kid was going for a weapon. On that I have no opinion. If it was an inner city neighborhood I would probably come down on believing he did.
If that was my daughter, He’d of likely had the same thing happen. He wasn’t sitting there being polite, he was doing things that got him shot. Like someone else said, if you get caught in someone else’s house, better act real nice.
You show up in the middle of the night in some one’s home you might get shot and you might die....and it’s your fault ...not the homeowners’!!!
