The misogyny is strong in this thread. Replace escort with painter or plumber and see how many folks defend this murder.
Texas wants so much to be Florida.
You live in Cali, why do you care so much about what happens here in Texas?
I wonder why Nehalem hasn't chimed in. He usually has something negative to say about women in threads like this.
He's too busy gluing quarters to his sidewalk and cleaning his gun.
People continue to show how screwed up they are, how little they care for anyone's life except their own. We have made it legal to kill over things that you would go to small claims court for. If you make a mistake or bad decision or even nothing actually wrong, we have made it legal to kill the person in many circumstances. They don't get a chance to make it right, change what they did or anything.
You create these laws along with the crazy gun nuts and you have people being killed that should have never should have.
Again, your values are fucked up.
Can we just give Texas back to the Mexicans?
Say it all you want, but that doesn't mean it's true. I literally said he was an idiot for killing her over $150. Then you said I was an idiot for thinking it was okay for someone to kill another person over $150. I'm not surprised at your failure to comprehend my follow-up posts based on the initial idiotic response, though.
but she had it coming.
You conveniently left out the rest of your statement so I'll remind you.
I didn't conveniently leave it out. It doesn't mean even close to what you think it means. That should have been obvious based on the first part of my statement, which I included to try to prevent idiots from assuming I think she deserved to die over $150.
She was robbing people who pay for prostitutes. This is what happens when you do that.
I would equate it to doing other very stupid things. If I went into a predominantly black ghetto at night and started yelling racist comments everywhere as loud as I could. I would be asking to get beat bad or even killed. Does it mean I deserve to die? not for just yelling racist comments, but I would be asking for it.
There are dumb things people do that are just asking to be shot and robbing others is one. If you do it to the wrong person, they will retaliate with a weapon.
This ruling makes no sense at all.
1. I've seen nothing about the incident which says that the girl stole the money. It was willingly given. Which means...
2. If the chick was an "escort", then the payment was for merely for her time, so she technically had no obligation to provide sex. This would be a civil breach of contract type dispute, not a criminal matter (theft).
3. If she actually took money while promising sex in return, then I imagine that both she and the guy were breaking the law. I haven't looked at Texas specifically but most other states have clauses in their laws about self defense saying, essentially, "none of this applies to you if you're engaged in criminal activity."
Unless circumstances were vastly different from what was reported, this is definitely another WTF, Texas? moment...
^ a horribly misguided idea
This isn't a "Texas" law, it's basically an application of the Castle Doctrine which many states have. It's the application that's unusual.This. Especially 3. But maybe Texas laws are completely fucked up.
It's always funny when people generalize about Texans as being idiots while at the same time proving specifically that they are.Well it would prevent another texan from becoming president so it's a great idea already.

Texans keep proving me right. I'll give an exception to Austin though.

Can you cite a single source indicating that the money was stolen? If he willingly gave her the money then the theft after dark law doesn't even apply.
Gilbert testified earlier Tuesday that he had found Frago's escort ad on Craigslist and believed sex was included in her $150 fee. But instead, Frago walked around his apartment and after about 20 minutes left, saying she had to give the money to her driver, he said.
That driver, the defense contended, was Frago's pimp and her partner in the theft scheme.

He gave her money for "escort services". I think anyone with any intelligence knows that a craigslist escort is a wink-wink way to say prostitute. She refused to put out or return the money; sounds like theft to me.
This seems especially true when you consider:
