He testified that he was awakened by pounding on his doors and shot McBride - who was found to be extremely drunk - because he feared for his life. But a jury rejected his claim of self-defense.

Pounding on your door in the middle of the night? I would have called 911 immediately and NEVER opened the door.

Who writes these headlines? Why would anyone shoot a dead black 19- year-old?

He shouldn’t have opened the door, I agree.

“..........17 years in Prison for Shooting Dead Black 19-year old.”...

IF she was ALREADY DEAD, then it wasn’t murder or manslaughter. (Typical media brain fart).

Contrary to what Joe Biden says, never EVER shoot through a closed door.

If he’d been in Texas, he’d be reading this from his easy chair.

The Daily Mail is a British paper.

British English is a different language from American English!!

Did I read once that Texas law allows one to use deadly force in situations that few,if any,other states allow? I'm almost certain I did.

Opening a door at 2:30 AM to a stranger is never a good idea.

...and the very reason I have two large, snarling dogs.

Anyone that gets past them will face a .357...

IIRC, a guy got off after shooting people robbing his neighbor's garage or shed.
