Re: Murder or self defense?
the way the police and the DA see it looks more like what I said, the shooter has been arrested and charged with murder, bail set at 75,000

If so, then wouldn't the wife be guilty also, so if anything, the husband would be charged with felony manslaughter or whatever it's called and the brother would be in the clear.
Disclaimer: I got my DA certificate in a box of Cracker Jacks.
Thomas, from the story I gather the husband and deceased wife followed the one person home, that in and of itself isn't necessarily wrong, however the brother of the shooter said there is a guy outside with a gun(paraphrasing) that makes in my mind the husband wrong as wrong can be, if he had his weapon out then shooting at the house of the subject he made himself a target and legally suseptable to being shot. The deceased however no matter what she said or as in the car did prior to the shots being fired had no reason to be shot, so therefore the shooter who killed the deceased is guilty of at least negligent homicide.
