If the deceased is shown to have been behaving aggressively that would be somewhat mitigating, but the fact remains that even if he was, it was tantamount to vandalization of a car, not any assault upon the driver herself. There was thick glass and steel between herself and him. None of the statements indicate he was able to gain entrance, so either he didn’t even try or the door was locked, neither of which supports the use of deadly force. This does not appear to rise to the standard of the use of deadly force under any stand your ground or castle doctrine.

Sorry. Texas law covers attempting to enter a vehicle. You don't have to gain entrance to the vehicle.

Again, I'm not excusing this woman.

I think people need to go back to whatever they were doing before this article was posted, and wait for the video and more information before they reach a judgment in this incident.
