Ironic that we finished criminal law a few weeks ago. She's tough and smart, I think she'll be ok.

I would hate to be put in her situation--kill or be killed--has to mess up the mind a little.

Good deal, glad she's alive.

Is it still legal in Texas to shoot someone that is trespassing on your property after dark?

As my torts professor said, "If you shoot a trespassor, there are two stories, but if you kill a trespassor there's one story."
