Re: Grey area in justified force/deadly force

The very first use of Deadly Force by a CHL holder in Texas occurred in Dallas when a gentlemen was physically attacked during an incident of road rage. As he was being beaten through the open window of his vehicle he stated that he feared for his life and shot the suspect who later died. The CHL holder was referred to a Grand Jury and was no-billed.

The media and everyone else thought that he would get convicted because he was only the victim of a physical assault. He had a very good defense attorney who if I recall correctly asked the Dallas ME if she had ever performed an autopsy on anyone that had been beat to death. The ME replied that she had performed several due to people being severely beaten and then dying. That was the end of that case.
