Walker Manslaughter verdict

[AZ2VET]

My brother told me this morning that he seen on facebook that a man was just convicted of manslaughter for killing a home invader in 2015. Anyone have any more information on this case? Really curious as to why a man is going to prison for protecting himself and home from a POS thief.

There is a whole lot more to the story. The robber had reason to believe there was cash to be taken at that residence because, wait for it, the parties had previous contacts around drug deals! And, the shooter told the robber to leave, then shot him in his car.

How in the world the defense thought they could claim a SYG case here is beyond all logic. This case is a great teaching example for CHP instructors, it illustrates so many bad decisions.

After reading the news report all I can say is Karma is a B., for the both of them.

His attorney sounds like a complete jackhole.

He didn’t actually kill the guy.
It should be noted that the perp Home invader chose the Home because he had purchased drugs from the *victim* previously and thought there would be cash there. The victim disarmed him and pistol whipped him then sent him packing. Then decided to go shoot at him in the car after the fact, wounding him. This action pretty much forfeits his castle doctrine-stand your ground defense.
Oh, did I mention? Apparently the victim was later busted with a pound of weed.... yeah.
