Re: VA: Appeals court overturned guilty verdict of man who killed intruder breaking into home

I later read about the extenuating circumstances.

That said, if you break down a deadbolted door into someone’s house after you have been told to never come back, I’m sorry I’m not convicting the homeowner regardless of whatever stupid things he told the police.

VA: Appeals court overturned guilty verdict of man who killed intruder breaking into home

Judge erred by not telling jury about self defense as attorney asked.

The rest of the US is not like Texas.

So you have a DA, a judge, 4 appeal court members and a jury not doing the right thing.

Story says he broke through the dead bolted door after being told he was not welcome in the house.
