Actually, I'm a little bit surprised they weren't charged with a crime under those circumstances.

Under Colorado’s self-defense laws, the use of deadly force is justified only under the “reasonable belief” that it’s necessary to prevent serious bodily injury or death. The jury found that none of the men had a legitimate claim of self-defense.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how the jury could have found any different under Colorado's law and I'm actually a little surprised it took them 2.5 days. They might have tried to find a way to find them not guilty or liable. It might have been different here in Texas, but even that's iffy since they had him cornered in a shed with the door closed this was a wrongful death civil suit.

I am a little curious about this "Make My Day" law they speak of. It's probably a lot like our Castle Law.

Property rights are not a lawful defense for using deadly force in Colorado, and the state’s so-called Make My Day law, which sets lower standard for using force, applies to households, not businesses.
