From the little info we have, he was actually in the right.



I think we would agree on that. I was just saying that juries do crazy shite. Here in MS one time a man was convicted of manslaughter after shooting a man that broke into his girlfriends house. The man he shot was actually the girls "other" boyfriend. The other boyfriend came to the house beating on the door and said I'm going to come back and kill you. The man came back, broke in the house and pulled a gun. The convicted man pulled his own and shot the guy dead. Clear cut self-defense if you ask me considering he was lawfully in the house. The jury convicted however. Craziest result I've ever seen.

That's pretty fricked up.

Can I throw out the "What race was each party, including the jurors, involved?"

It is Mississippi after all...


That could be an all white jury condemning a black man or vice versa, but it just sounds too far fetched for there not to be more to that story as well.


For instance, what if it was actually the victim's house, but the girlfriend brought the shooter there?

That would kick things up a notch.





Let's say it's a perfect scenario. No weird side notes, no racists jury, and no BS.

Clear cut that he shot the victim, legally, but the jury convicted him.


That outlier of a case doesn't change my opinion on how I think the lady in OP handled it. I think she did the right thing, btw.


In most cases, you have a better defense if the perp is no longer breathing.

Dead men tell no tales.
