Both shooters, would face long time in jail.

An argument between neighbors ended up with one dead and two people arrested.
The tagline from ABC11 Eyewitness News Houston is:
"Abilene father and son charged with killing neighbor allegedly over fight about garbage"

It's a very sad situation with three egos and two guns.
What is your opinion of what will happen in court?

Based on this video and another report I read anda photo from behind showing the victim unarmed I'd say the Millers are toast.

This story stated that the victim was "seven or more feet away" from the shooter holding a bat. When he raised it he was shot.

I read that. He was handed the bat sometime after the two showed up with guns and the shirtless guy pulled his out and confronted him him about putting two discarded mattresses back in the dumpster which the two guys then removed again and dumped on his "property." This appears to be a garbage alley which normally is not private property but it's not clear or explained in the article. I don't know legally if raising a bat at a man with a gun from 7 feet legally justifies deadly force or not. Guess the courts will decide. No word yet from the relatives who were present when the two perps showed up armed. I saw the Miller's bond was raised from $25,000 to $250,000 each, also. The fact they showed up armed is very telling as to their intent and he didn't have the bat when they came armed to confront the victim.
