If he’d been in Texas, he’d be reading this from his easy chair.
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.
No he wouldn’t, in Texas he would have been convicted as well.

Gotta disagree there. He shot through a closed screen door and she was not attempting to enter his house, steal anything, or was making threats of any kind.
“If he’d been in Texas, he’d be reading this from his easy chair.”
No so long ago a jury in Texas convicted a homeowner for doing almost the exact same thing and sentenced him to 20 years.

I’m not so sure about that....
Shooting someone though your front screen door is a very weak “castle doctrine” position....
I think he would have been convicted as well... But gotten a shorter sentence....
I’m in Texas. And I’d vote guilty too.
I think even Texans can look at the facts here and make the right call.
