Not in Florida. We have a “Stand Your Ground” law and the “Castle Doctrine”.
Here’s the subsection of the statute.
“A person who unlawfully and by force enters or attempts to enter a person’s dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle is presumed to be doing so with the intent to commit an unlawful act involving force or violence.”
The Mom was attempting to enter her dwelling by force. The shooter will walk if the Jury does the right thing.
We will see... Doesn’t matter what the law says. If she is tried in liberal court she is going down. And it will be because she shot through a closed door. Had she not shot through a closed door she had a good chance of beating it even in a liberal court.
What did she do other than walk up to the door and perhaps knock on it that could conceivably be characterized as trying to enter or trying to enter by force?
