But despite that, it seems to be legal. Jury acquits Penn Borough man of attempted murder in roommate's shooting
He was in a home that was not his. He was asked to leave. He held his hand behind his back. He got shot.
The DA says, "He was unarmed," but the homeowner doesn't have x-ray vision. He knew the dead guy. That is not an issue. (You are more likely to be threatened by someone you know that a complete stranger.)
The DA knows all of that, but was hoping that the jury would convict, because Justice is not the issue. Winning is the issue. Well that, and they really, really hate self-defense. You must rely on the state for everything, even those things it cannot provide.
A Westmoreland County jury acquitted a Penn Borough man of attempted murder and aggravated assault for the 2021 shooting of his girlfriend’s adult son.
And in usual DA form, they threw a bunch of charges into the air, hoping one would stick.
Self-defense is a human-right, and it might be your legal right in Pennsylvania, though not if the District Attorneys have their way.
