I'm interested to see what the plainclothes has to say about what happened.

I would imagine that Mr. Horn's attorney is too, seein as how his testimony will likely determine the outcome of this case.

Here's a pretty good interview with Mr. Horn's attorney.



They are taking the stance that he was going outside to "gather information for the Pasadena Police Department."

Not a bad call. This lawyer seems really good.

That's ridiculous. I hope this gives ammo to the defense in some way.

I suppose that is true. I think that his defense lawyer will have his hands full in trying to show that there was no intent originally to kill the BGs, because I would imagine that the prosecutor will try that angle to get him put away. Don't get me wrong, I support what Mr. Horn did, and I think that if this was a more common occurrence (for burglars to get shot, and the people shooting them be supported by the public), crime would go down significantly.

I think he might have done himself in with the phrase "I'm going to kill them." That pretty much showed intent on shooting. He was talking to the dispatcher who told him to stay put, and instead he said he was going to kill the guys and he did. Right or wrong in protecting someone's property, I don't think he'll be getting off with this one.
