...a right to kill them...


This is an interesting concept. Remember Rodney Peairs(sp) the dude that shot Yoshi Hatori OUTSIDE his house in BR in the driveway? Hatori was unarmed and doing Halloween stuff and it was still twilight and he was looking for directions. Jury found him not guilty. Jury inTexas finds one guy not guilty for shooting a burglar at his neighbor’s house in the back as he’s running away from the EMPTY house. Jury in Texas convicts a guy of voluntary manslaughter for killing an ARMED burglar in his OWN house. I cannot explain this to a client in trouble as it is a roll of the dice.

The judge that heard the civil suit didn't see it the same way, he awarded the plaintiff $650K, the judgment pretty much destroyed Peairs' life from what I have heard and read.
