had she shot him when she found him under the bed, should could have a better defense.
accept a plea on a lesser offense, like man slaughter, or go with "crime of passion/heat of the moment" an hope a jury will go along
My thoughts exactly.
Speculating here. But I wonder if he instigated anything as he was walking away. For example, if he said something like "don't worry I'll be back, your daughter can't get enough of me". Or just anything vulgar about the child in general. I'm no expert, but I would think a good lawyer could definitely get her off in that situation.

By claiming a dead dude said something that can't be proven in court? You are indeed no expert.
If this is true than every murderer would use this as a defense. "Yeah they said they had a gun and would shoot me. No they apparently didn't have a gun and there's no proof they would shoot me but believe me".
And words don't justify a gunshot to the back of the head so no, not even close for your scenario.

I don't think I could be rational as a parent in that situation...as a juror, I may give the mother the benefit of the doubt.

I would believe it was a crime of passion or temporary insanity, like Gary Plauche

The whole “shooting in the back = murder” needs to not be so black and white of a law. Each case should be evaluated independently based on the threat.
A man hiding under her child’s bed, escaping from a house occupied by two females is still a threat to them, imo. He could easily be trying to reach for a weapon while running away. Or leaving to go get a weapon and come back. She didn’t know if he was armed or not. She was protecting herself and daughter from him being able to come back and cause harm.
So if he was inside and turned >90 degrees left or right, it would have been okay to shoot? Kind of crazy to draw the line there..
If he was trespassing in their home he is a threat. Front, back, arm, leg, arse, dick…Shouldn’t matter. Hopefully she gets acquitted.

Kendra Scott was arrested after police found a 20-year-old man dead from a gunshot wound in the back of his head outside her Memphis home just before 2 a.m
Yeah, theres killing an intruder actively in/breaking into your home and then theres finding one under your daughters bed, taking him outside, and executing him via GSW to the noggin.

Who is raising these 13 year old sluts. I couldn’t imagine inviting a grown women in my parents house at 1am when I was in 7th or 8th grade.

She shot him while he was running away outside or execution style?
Either way, not a great fact pattern for mom. She's going to go down for this.
Sounds like what Gary Plauche did.

Can’t shoot him leaving no longer reasonable fear of death or great bodily injury
Posted on 7/21/26 at 5:33 pm to QJenk
I would not convict in this situation.

Not saying I'm upset this predator is dead, but if you're going to kill him and get away with it or get light charges, it has to be in a different scenario than this.
Like in the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport.

I’m actually curious what happened to her case
Posted on 7/21/26 at 7:16 pm to QJenk
Came and went in the same night

Scott had said that if she “sees a boy in my house I will put a hole in his arse,” the daughter later told cops, according to the affidavit.
The teen eventually let her mother inside, where Scott allegedly found Morton hiding under her bed, the court doc states.
“Get out of my house bitch,” she allegedly screamed, and followed Morton out the front door.
That’s when her daughter and a neighbor allegedly heard a gunshot ring out.
