Custody argument results in Texas man being shot to death, lawyer claims it was self-defense

Unfortunately under the law there's no "partial self-defense".

It's either murder, or not murder, or they can think of some other creative charge to charge him, or they can try to pressure him into a plea bargain.

I do remember one story from South Dakota where a woman tracked down and killed her rapist, and she ended up pleading guilty to "hunting without a license".

 

This event happened in Lubbock.

 

It's still Texas.

 

At this point he hasn't even been charged with anything. He might not be.

 

Yeah, and Travis McMichael thought he lived in Georgia.
Things are changing fast.

 

It looks like you are right. Do you think he will be ordered to pay a large amount of money to the widow?

 

That's whatever you were talking about for you.

 

Is she a widow I know if you lose your spouse you're a widow but this dude wasn't her spouse.
