The comment by the boyfriend tends to indicate he too knew the immediate threat was over. He stated he didn’t want him to get back up, not that he saw him reaching for his weapon, nothing that indicated a continuing threat to anyone in the room. He basically pulled the trigger without justification in the eyes of the law.
What a jury would do with this is probably open to debate. I know I wouldn’t make a call until I heard a lot more information during the trial. Am I glad the BG is no longer around? If it turns out to be as presented, then yes I’m glad he’s gone.
But that’s not the point. The question is “Did he have a right to shoot the final shot?�. I believe citizens have the right to be their own defenders and to protect others, and that includes deadly force, but not to be executioners. In our systems, that’s reserved for the legal system and what this guy did was execute the BG. I feel it should go to trial…

Now lets not jump to conclusions…maybe the new boyfriends nickname was “Tea� and hers was “Biscuit�
