Might be the first time I side with the person carrying the gun in stories like these.

As an 80 year old man, yes. I'll make sure that they never come back.What if they escape the house and are getting away, would you chase them down?

California Law Review Robert DaggettConclusion
In jurisdictionswhere the question of the allocation of the burdenof proof on the issue of self-defense in a wrongful death action has not yet been decided, it is to be expected that the choice between the "majority"rule and the one adopted by the Texas courtwill dependon the dispositionof the particularappellatecourt to treat self-defense either as a plea of confession and avoidance or to treat the negation of self-defenseas a step in the plaintiff'sproof that the homicidewas a wrongful one.
It seemslikely,however,thatwhentheplaintiffhasshownthatthedefendant intentionally killed the decedent, the defendant will then have at least the obliga- tion of going forwardwith evidence tending to show self-defense, whether or not it devolves upon him ultimately to persuadethe jury, or the court in a non-jury case, that the homicidewas justified.
Takes a special kind of coward to murder a defenseless woman pregnant or not
I hope he spends the rest of his life in a jail cell
The court system may determine if he had "every right to shoot her", but I get what your saying. Like I was saying earlier, this may be more about REVENGE than actual self-defense, given when the woman and her unborn baby were when they were killed. They were off the man's property. It was beyond idiotic for a pregnant woman to break in someone house.Unless I'm missing something that man had every right to shoot her
Only victim is the baby but the man/woman thought robbing this old man would be easy. Tired of old people getting got so props to that man
That's barely English.hope all you want I mean that from the bottom of my heart
Well he executed her. He didn't kill her in self defense. Defense was injuring her and then calling the cops and retreating to safety. So if I were on a jury I'd convict him.
You think a judge and a jury is going to factor that into their decision making?he did the world a service; you think they weren't gonna rob another spot?Well he executed her. He didn't kill her in self defense. Defense was injuring her and then calling the cops and retreating to safety. So if I were on a jury I'd convict him.
this...
No sympathy for anyone involved in this situation, really. This obviously wasn't a dude defending his property. This was a dude that was heated about being robbed and wanted vengeance at any cost.
