You are full of liberal shhite if you think a jury of 12 will send this guy to prison. His intent was to capture the thief, not to kill. This case can be made by any competent Defense Attorney.
Ohioman is absolutely right. If this had been a COP involved, and the man was accidentally pinned, end of case. How MANY times have you seen this VERY thing on damned “real time cop shows”????
Don’t give me any lip about “Well, he wasn’t a cop”. No he was a LEGAL citizen, owner of the property on which the incident took place, didn’t INVITE the guests there to put them in the position, and he took action to stop a fleeing felon.
Plain and simple.
