Self-defense Is Legal in Indiana

It started when he "got drunk and punched his son." Alcohol can be hazardous to your health. Prosecutors call fatal New Albany shooting a case of self-defense; no charges to be filed

He also began arguing with the woman, whom WDRB is identifying only as Robertson's domestic partner.

When the argument moved outside the home, Lane said Robertson began biting the woman several times on the cheek.

Robertson was armed with a gun, according to Lane. He said the woman was able to get the gun and fired it four times. He was hit three times, according to prosecutors, and died from his injuries.

The prosecutor goes on to say that "this is the worst possible outcome." I beg to differ. The worst outcome would be if he shot and killed his son, and he shot and killed his "domestic partner," and then he was left to rot in prison for decades.

As it stands the bad-guy suffered the worst fate, and everyone else is on the mend.

Still, this incident happend on Sunday, April 18th (they do say April 19th in the caption to one photo, but I think that is when the photo was taken), and this determination was made on Friday April 23rd. Less that a week is moving at warp speed for the American Criminal Justice System.

My take on the situation is: Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0, and self-defense is a human-right.
