If the story is accurate, then sounds like there was no self defense involved. Sounds more like an execution and the guy should be tried for murder if this is the whole story.

Out of curiosity, what is the official name for the crime of "peeping".

Basically it is an invasion of privacy and carries a disorderly conduct charge. TPC 42.01(11) covers it

So, can you poke 'em in the eye with a burnt stick?

Are you suggesting "an eye for an eye"?

Sure you can.

But then you would probably be facing an assault charge.

I thought that was only if you pour salt in the hole made by the burnt stick.

Salt would aggravate the wound, so guess that would make it aggravating a-salt.

Actually, I was kinda' wonderin' what to do if you peeked through your blinds into an eye that was peekin' in?

If the story is accurate, David Thompson went looking for Darrell Williams. That sounds like premeditation.

If someone peeks into my blinds and catches me "at the right time", they've already been punished!

Me too. They may try to file a civil suit against me for causing them to go blind.
