when Mr Westbrook walked towards the house without identifying himself, Mr Hendrix fired.

That's some nice BS additive that Hendrix worked up on the advice of counsel because his original statement was this:

he fired four shots after Westbrook ignored commands to stop, identify himself and raise his hands.

Hendrix was the aggressor doing the confronting after Westbrook rang the doorbell and began walking away.

Furthermore he shot him not because he was afraid but, by his own admission, because the guy would not follow his orders to stop, put his hands up and identify himself.

That's not self-defense nor is it SYG nor is it the purpose for having a weapon.

It's murder.

No it’s a homicide.

If it's at your house, you do as you want.

Me, come to my house in the middle of the night, come towards me and refuse to identify yourself? You're going to get a chest full of buckshot.

Where I live, they won't even charge me. History has proven that last bit.
