But then I thought it was. Camas woman acquitted in fatal shooting of husband - The Columbian
Camas, Washington is basically a suburb of Portland, Oregon. It is in Clark County, Washington, just on the north side of the Columbia River.
Clark County Superior Court Judge Nancy Retsinas heard from more than 30 witnesses and considered more than 130 pieces of evidence before ruling Westby acted in self-defense.
The judge said the evidence showed there was an “intense struggle” between the couple in their bedroom, where Sam Westby shot her husband, Joe Westby, twice. Retsinas said the evidence also showed Joe Westby threatened Sam Westby and that she feared for her safety.
This is probably another case where no charges should have been laid against the defendant, but DAs hate self-defense, and the process is the punishment. And let's face it, DAs care nothing for Justice, they thought they could win in this instance.
And whatever the DA may think, self-defense is a human-right. (Hat tip to Keep and Bear Arms.)
