But in Philadelphia the cops apparently don't think that way. Woman in custody after man shot to death in Northeast Philly home
In an update on Sunday morning, police said the woman, who has been taken into custody, told police that the shooting happened after her 38-year-old husband returned to the home after leaving a week prior.
In his return, police said the woman claimed her husband forced his way into the home after kicking in the front and back doors of the property.
After forcing his way in, he threatened her. She shot him.
Now this is probably complicated by the fact that they are married, but if he left, and came back, I'm sure that there is much more to the story. It sounds all too much like domestic violence cases always sound.
Only time will tell what the DA thinks of this case. Not of the facts, or of Justice, but if he thinks he can Win then she will be charged. DAs hate self-defense.
Maybe it was self defense....and maybe it was murder under the guise of self defense....
ReplyDeleteWe don't know. But I read a lot of stories of domestic violence that start that way.
