What is the LA law regarding shooting unarmed home intruders? I know it is legal in TX.


LA has a Castle Doctrine and Stand-Your-Ground laws. You have the right to defend your property against a trespasser and can use lethal force if you're threatened.

There's definitely more to it but that's the jist. The issue with this case was whether or not Merritt was actually threatened and the criminal intent of Coulter.
