This link which puts to bed the case of the man who whacked two Goblins, even though they were burgling his neighbor’s house and not his own. Of special note should be this part of the DA’s statement:
If you see a goblin coming out of a broken window of your neighbor’s home, for instance, you can take out your scoped rifle and put a .308 bullet into the goblin’s chest—which is more or less what Our Hero did—and generally not be in any trouble with the Law. (If the goblin has just escaped from your house and is running down the road, and you pop a bullet into his back, you will be in trouble. Like I said, interesting.)
So to all the Pissers & Moaners who want Our Hero stuck in jail, the Texas expression is, I believe, “You’re SOL”.
In the specific case above, the Texas expression would be: ”If you feel like burgling a house, you may want to do it in your own country first, before considering Texas.”
I can tell you that the grand jury conducted a thorough review of the evidence and testimony. They considered the relevant criminal statutes in Texas, including those pertaining to homicide, use of deadly force, self-defense, and defense of property. In short, before making their decision, they were as well-informed on the facts and circumstances of this case as any deliberative body could be.
One of the more interesting features of Texas law is that when you are “looking after” a neighbor’s property, you actually have greater leeway, when it comes to violence, than when you’re defending your own.
