Some thoughts, based on the story as reported above . . .

* Were I the store employee, I would not have fired. A bottle from my employer's liquor inventory isn't worth placing myself in that kind of legal jeopardy.

* Were I to serve on a grand jury, I would not vote to indict the store employee.

* Were I to serve as a juror in a trial of the store employee, I would not convict.

Hmmm . . . perhaps the store employee thought she saw the perp threaten her with a gun? One the perp would have had plenty of time to discard between the shooting and his apprehension outside town?

One final thought: since the perp WAS a shoplifter, and the shooter IS female, a Texas grand jury may be predisposed to favor her . . .
