Deadly Force, Theft At Night, Burglary, etc.

There is the Joe Horn case in Pasedena, Texas where Joe killed two burglars who burglarized his neighbors home. He was on the phone with 911 and told them what he was going to do even after 911 operator told him to stay in the house. He was no billed.

A was no billed after doing X.

Therefore, if I do X, I too will be no billed.

That carries with it the implied assumption that you can count on being treated as was A. Not necessarily, as different prosecutors might exercise their discretion differently and subtle differences in facts can lead to different results. Try to stay well to the safe side of what's legal.

Nobody said or implied anything. I believe the OP was looking for a case and one was provided. It has happened, doesn't mean different area of the state outcome would be the same. I personally agree with the outcome.

What I get out of this thread is some will fight against crime perpetrated against themselves and others will do nothing, well, they might bloviate about the nuances of the law, I guess that's something...

I've been trying to do a search, for a case that occurred in the 90's where a man owned two homes, and the one he was not living in, had been burglarized several time. He put in an alarm system, which notified him that the house was being burglarized during the day. He drove to the house, took out a Marlin lever action 444, and dropped the burglars on the porch coming out with stolen property. I think he only killed one but shot three of them. He was no-billed.

It happened, I think, in Mckinney, but I am unable to find it. If someone locates the story please post a link.

JusMe, I also recall that story. Unfortunately, I don't remember any more than you, except I didn't think it was in McKinney. I remembered it as being South of I30 for some reason

...bloviate...

Had to look that up!
