Police Won't Charge Homeowner In Musician's Death

"DALLAS Police said Tuesday they aren't pursuing charges against a homeowner who shot and killed a former member of Edie Brickell & New Bohemians who tried kicking in his door in the middle of the night.

The case will be turned over to a grand jury that will decide whether the homeowner will face charges. Dallas police Sgt. Larry Lewis said the shooting appears to fall under state law permitting deadly force as self-defense."

I didn't realize that there was a new law in effect concerning trespassers on your property. I should read my posts more thoroughly. See Shelley's Snippets: Hundreds of Rules Go Into Effect Today - Texas. Apparently you don't have to pull a body into your house anymore after you shoot someone outside.
