Why this murder?, page-2

"Why is this front page?"

Because it started as a Stand Your Ground defence.

The kid went to the wrong door and knocked.

The home owner said nothing before he shot the kid in the head without opening the door.

He then opened the door and shot the kid again as he lay on the ground.

The kid survived.

Home owner charged with assault, not murder as your thread title suggests.


There's a recent case in New York State that barely caused a ripple.

A woman drove into someone's driveway, looking for a friend's place.

Wrong house so the home owner opened fire and killed a passenger in the car.

In this case the home owner has been charged with murder.
