In Texas, deadly force is justified in order to prevent an aggravated sexual assault.
That should be the law in every state.
What is frustrating to those of us in Texas is the (Islamic guy that killed 20+ people including one expecting a baby), at Fort Hood 4-5 years ago received his monthly paycheck when the victims did not has monies to support their selves or their hospital/treatment bills.
His trial is over. He is guilty and condemned to death.
It may very well be. This isn't the aberration it might seem. Self defense laws don't just apply to using guns, and they allow you to defend someone else, especially your child.
