Re: AUSTIN store clerk prosecuted for shooting man stealing

No place but Austin. Doesn't matter what the law says, they have their own idea of what it means. This is the opposite of jury nullification.

That said. Did he realize he hit his target? Concerned about his job? I presume he did not call the police and hoped it would all go away? And he keeps a neat store.

Still it seems to fit the law.

It does not appear he was dealing drugs at the gas station and this was really a drug deal gone bad. Or he was earlier playing cards with the guy and the guy was leaving with all his winnings and our guy decided to get his money back.

Sounds like people were stealing beer and he decided to fight back.

Seems like he is not guilty, with the exception of tampering.

But lets see what the fair people of Austin think.
