Reply #18: Escape from her own home? [View All]

Where would she be expected to go? What if the man breaking in was part of a kidnapping team, and was trying to either snag her or drive her out of the home to his waiting partner? What if she had been surprised by him in her sleep?


I am not sure there is any real need for the Castle Doctrine in regards to a person's own home, except that I know that many unscrupulous prosecutors would gladly prosecute someone for protecting themself from an attacker in their own home.


I say good for her, she removed a multiple, persistent sexual predator from the earth in the most decisive way possible, and prevented herself from being sexually assaulted yet again by the animal. As far as I am concerned, that gunshot wound he received was self-inflicted.
