I still see a very active threat, if he sits there and states "You killed me." he obviously was completely alert and could ahve very well have been waiting for his chance to grab and shoot. I see a difference between someone who is laying on the ground coughing blood and is barely able to move and someone who is kneeling there talking to you...he was still a threat if that's the way it was and in my eyes the second shot was a necessary precaution...now it depends where he shot him, if he walked up behind him and fired a round straight into the back of his skull I would say it was an execution, if this guy is here talking and is physically able to harm them then another shot in a place that is not a "guaranteed" kill seems to be justified. It all depends on the autopsy.

1) What's her deal with guys named Eric(k)???
2) She's 21, he's 35? can someone say, "Daddy issues?" AND she's got a 2yrold

anyway, man, dude broke through a barricaded bedroom door, crap!!!

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERDS!!!

Now that you mention it the white trash down the streets name is Eric...they are always drunk...one time he took a leak in my backyard. They sound like the type of people you would see topless, yelling from a trailer park window with a cigarette hangin outta thier mouth and a beer in their hand on COPS.

PS Sometimes they have a beer in each hand.

Nope, he dropped the gun.

A loaded gun fell from his hand.

Deadly force is NOT justified base don what someone "might" do in some future encounter.

Do the words 'immediately necessery" ring a bell?

The guy was shot, laying on the floor, with no weapon. He even had time to speak. Cegon executed him with a coup de grace.

"he needed killin" is not a justification. The criminal justice system is in place for a reason, and our laws are to allow us to defend ourselves. It does not allow us to murder people who are evil, done evil things or might come back and do evil things again.

Were I a DA I would ask for an indictment. I imagine most DA's would follow the law and do the same.

Immediately necessery could be interpreted differently. If he is holding the gun how do you know he dosn't just like to carry it around? If he points it at you how do you know he isn't just trying to scare you, you probably startled him and was his involuntary reaction, it all depends on your opinion...he was alert and speaking, he had a loaded firearm next to him and was intending to kill them with it moments earlier, I don't know who wouldn't see him as a threat, this man broke into someones home and then attempted to kill them...he was going to be in for a long time, he has been shot, he is at gun point, the way I see it he is thinking he has nothing left to lose and could do anything.
