Oh my god! :roll:
I half deserve that (I'm admitting that my response, at least to some extent, falsely characterized TX's law), as I didn't read the law, This is what I get for being bored and lazy where usually I'm more careful....I didn't realize that you aren't justified to shoot a robber unless they are using force to take away your property, which under some, maybe even most circumstances could be justifiable. Theft is the taking of property without the element of force.
Based on the information given, it seems unlikely that she threatened the man with force and he was (I assert based on the information I have) unjustified in shooting her.
However, the Jury was correct in finding him innocent of her murder (again based on the information I have) as the shooting didn't cause her death, it would appear equipment failure caused her death.
The prosecutors in this case should be fired for attempting to seek a murder charge....
