How can it be trespass if he were legally allowed there to get his kids?srothstein wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 11:59 pm I don't see this as coming out well for the shooter no matter what. There was no property being taken or threatened (according to the news article) and no person being threatened until he brought the gun out. That makes criminal trespass the only crime the deceased committed. Unfortunately, Texas law does not recognize stopping criminal trespass as justifying deadly force.
It will be interesting to see how the AG handles it. Who provoked the initial confrontation and who escalated it will be critical points, as in most self-defense cases.
