Atlanta homeowner charged with murder after allegedly shooting stranger found sleeping inside home

[Ken Ford]

To that effect, I can tell you this same home owner was pistol-whipped and robbed in his front yard about five years ago. I have no idea if it was by the deceased.

That would be a good defense for him, the past crimes. But if they found out he was invited in, or maybe was there regularly?

he invited him over, let him pass out then shot him? you got a link clown?

Link, no, but I worked a very similar event. And not, I said ”wait for him to relax” not fall asleep. Not hard to tell the guy was not a thread if he’s passed out flat in a bed…

This has all the earmarks of the home owner being under the common misconceptions that if someone enters your home you can justifiably kill them and that claiming you were in fear for your life is a viable defense. There are several folks right here on ODT that have expressed those exact beliefs.

Be a while before the public knows more of the story I'm sure. When something first happens a lot of miss information seems to come out.

A quote from the article
“Certainly, there has to be an element where your life has to be in immediate danger”
and
”Atlanta Police Department have now concluded that there was not a threat to the homeowner”

I guess APD investigators determined his life wasn’t “endangered” enough ... << Civilian version
but
the police version of “ endangered” >> means it’s ok to shoot even if they are running away..

Yep, old Rayshard was running away, armed with a deadly Taser, and he got center punched by two Atlanta cops, no charges (actually, chargers were brought because the DA was running for re-election,, then they were later dropped.)

Since we don’t know anything, but the homeowners story, this is viable as an option, as there is right now, anyway.

This has nothing to do with Stand Your Ground. This is a Castle Doctrine issue.

That was the point...........
