I was thinking about the Joe Horn shooting in Pasadena, TX a number of years ago where Joe Horn shot and killed two burglars who were burglarizing his neighbor's house in broad daylight. At that time, the grand jury declined to indict and the explanation was that a person can use deadly force to protect his property or a third person's property.
Thanks again for your the clarification.
Is that the actual law? My understanding was to be able to use that defense, you need to have some sort of agreement with the neighbor that you were "watching" or otherwise responsible for the property... Maybe I've got it wrong?
I like my neighbors, not sure I'd risk a grand jury for them though.
