In Great Falls-defending yourself is called murder. I am sorry that someone died-a person with a violent history beating someone down in their own home.I would have to say-that if the same situation happened in my home-I would also shoot. Call the police-when you live in the country it's gonna take a while for them to show-up. Hopefully you aren't beat to death before they show up to arrest you.

The facts are the facts Kevin. If you come into my home and threaten me with any kind of bodily injury I am going to have to agree with Jennifer, I'd shoot. My condolences for your loss sir but a main factor of human life is self preservation. And if the individual shot first then he will get what is coming. I am not agreeing with the suspects actions I am agreeing with Jennifer's point of view. If someone came into my home and threatened me I wouldn't turn my back to the person unless I needed to in order to arm myself.

I have been following the case-a loss of life is horrible in any situation-I realize that Keith is not here to tell his side of the story I also understand that the Prosecution asked for the death penalty--what a terrible tragedy. We do have the right to defend ourselves against attack. I also understand that the individual being prosecuted was featured in an article a few months before because his daughter is sufferig from a debilitating and deadly disease. Luckily none is being prosecuted in her case.
