Exactly my thinking . Being legal does not mean being right .The whole thing could of been an elaborate plan by the ex wife, knowing how the dad would react, because she has prob delayed the turnover several times and knew exactly how he would react
Was thinking the same thing about video, only thing I can think is they edited the video to not see the impact/death shots… kinda what it looked like to me
Very. The ex-wife being a judge adds even more intrigue to the story....Seems like this was all easily avoidable- by all parties involved.This one will be interesting.
The incident happened at the homeowner's property. The gun was already there and the ex husband was already aggressive. He already knew the kid wasn't there. The ex-wife told him and he said he figured the kid was at her mom's house. At that point, there was no reason for the ex-husband to be there and he should have left the property.He brought a gun to a word fight. Once the gun was there, the ex ramped up quickly and did physically aggress, but I have trouble seeing past the homeowner not at least trying first to escort the girlfriend inside with him while telling the ex that they're just gonna wait inside for the cops to arrive to sort things out.
Highly recommend listening to the content of the exchange between deceased and ex-wife. “gonna subpoena you, your mom, etc” are not the words of a man on the brink of assault/murderIf the shooter would have stayed inside and waited for the ex to kick his door in, then lit him up, this story is never seen. However, shooters' wife was outside arguing with the ex. They would have called him a coward if the ex shot the wife in the driveway while the new husband watched through the peephole.
Obviously there is more to this. Like, how did the ex arrive on the scene in the first place? Did the wife go outside to talk to him? Did he ambush her in the driveway? Did she/they know he was coming? Did they knowingly or purposely delay the transfer of the kid on time to dad?
Remember; the statistics don't align with the angry aggressors!
He shouldn't have threatened to subpoena them. He should have left and subpoenaed them.Highly recommend listening to the content of the exchange between deceased and ex-wife. “gonna subpoena you, your mom, etc” are not the words of a man on the brink of assault/murder
I agree there is more to this, there is a strong “past fear” from her…. She knew what he was about to become… not saying there’s a “past instigator” her who is real good at putting him in that situationHe shouldn't have threatened to subpoena them. He should have left and subpoenaed them.
Once he learned his son was not there, he had no reason to stay on the property other than to harass the people living there. I highly recommend listening to his words and his tone in conjunction with watching his ex-wife reaction. You say he's not on the brink of assault because he used a legal work. I say he has a history of assault. When he raises his voice, his ex-wife cowers a little bit and looks down to avoid eye contact. When he looks like he's about to move toward her, she starts to back up. She's scared of him. She knows to avoid any real confrontation with him because she knows what he's capable of. So the overall context tells me a different story than his using a legal word does.
I'm 100% in agreement that the ex should have left when asked. However, when he didn't leave, he still had not, at least in the video we're all seeing, done anything to physically attack or threaten anyone, no verbal threat of violence had been voiced, and I think that to go get a gun to try to make him leave before calling the cops to make him leave was a poor choice. Once the homeowner brought the gun into the equation, that was when the ex became physically challenging. That was certainly a poor choice on the part of the ex to physically engage the gun-wielding homeowner, and at that point he made himself front-runner for the stupid prize at the end of the stupid game, but without the homeowner bringing that gun outside, it may have just been a lot more loud words and a trespass arrest. Let him stand outside and scream until the cops get there.The incident happened at the homeowner's property. The gun was already there and the ex husband was already aggressive.

I believe the laws are different in Texas. I think the porch is considered part of the domicile.It's a bad shoot, the man shot had a court order to be there to pick up his kid, therefore he wasnt trespassing. Self defense law also doesn't apply to simple trespassing. You can't just light up people that walk on your lawn or step foot on your property lol.
