Why? Should he have been charged if she wasn't lying?

 

[Kelemvor]

Wow. Very interesting. Makes sense to me. Hope she goes to jail for a long time. Feel sorry for the other guy's kids though.

 

[SSSnail]

Poetic justice! I for one glad that the justice system in our country is not completely broken.

she's a tramp, whore, bitch...yeah.

Wasn't in the right? He didn't have a right to shoot someone he thinks is attacking his wife?

He shot the vehicle 4 times AFTER she yelled rape and they were DRIVING AWAY. WTF! I'd shoot the guy too under the assumption that my wife would be raped or killed if the guy got away. I think the jury made a very wise decision to acquit him and charge her in this case. She definitely caused this guy's death.

 

[Kelvrick]

Very nice how this is turning out so far. Other guy didn't deserve to get killed though, IMO.

Sounds like the husband did the right thing, the wife did the wrong thing and the law judged things correctly.

What are the odds of that happening???

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Though I hope the dead mans wife isn't smart and decides to sue, since in Civil court she will most likely win. Since in Civil Court its a 51%/49% decision if you win or loose, unlike criminal where it's all or naught.
It can be argued that although the shooting was justified lawful given the information known at the time, the fact is that the dead guy wasn't really breaking any laws and was thusly murdered.

Like I said, I'm all for the Husband that shot the other guy, but this can still screw him over more.

a hollow point.

Article doesn't mention anything about a wife, just that he's a father of three. Wonder if he's divorced?

This turned out according to common sense, obviously something will go badly soon to restore our balance.

*Seinfeld* "thats a shame."

The guy had three kids. It never said whether he was married or not. Seems like the type that might have been trying to work on a 4th kid in a new town.

 

[Safeway]

Her husband was in the right. If she was actually being raped, I'd kill that rapist son of a b!tch in a second. The woman pulled the rape card.

Yeah, for what he did, he deserved maybe a couple of broken bones in a dark alley...or a beer bottle smashed on his head.

Too bad that b!tch screamed RAPIST and left 3 kids without a father. Their last memory of their him?r Daddy was killed by the husband of the whore he was doing because she told her husband he was raping and kidnapping her.

 

[miniMUNCH]

I feel for the SO and kids of Devin LaSalle... he left 3 kids behind.

Police: "Mrs. LaSalle... I regret to inform you that your husband (BF) was killed today. Gun shot to the head."

Mrs. LaSalle: "Oh...Oh, Oh God!!!"

Police: "Um yeah...it gets worse. He was apparently shot after he rapped and tried to abduct a woman."

Can you imagine having to hear that news... I think I'd vomit and then just die on the spot.

I'm not sure I would go so far as to say they both should be charged, but a crime of passion is a crime of passion. If they did charge/convict the husband, I would hope they would give him the most lenient punishment every imaginable for any action that resulted in the taking of a life. The wife deserves REALLY DESERVES to be punished as strictly as possible for her actions.

Realize that just because an action is justifiable or just amazingly agreeable doesn't mean it does not have bad consequences. I'd have shot the Fvcker too.

 

[Night201]

Does he get his $100,000 bail money back? I'd be requesting that back so fast!

But it wasn't a crime of passion. That woman is 100 percent at fault for making her husband think that she was being raped and then kidnapped. The husband was just trying to save his wife from being kidnapped, as far as he was concerned.

 

[Jeff7]

Wow. Guess that's not quite the result she was hoping for.

Depending on how quickly the guy died, can she also technically be charged with "desecrating" a corpse?


You have an affair, lie about rape, then bam, lover is dead, and you're going to jail. More urine on your breakfast cereal, ma'am?

Did you read the story? The woman screamed rape. He didn't shoot the guy because he was banging his wife consensually behind his back. He shot the guy because his wife claimed he was trying to abduct and rape her.

correction. he fired four shots into a moving vehicle! although after what happened, i doubt he would have cared much had he hit his wife.

hick-ness? Everyone and their mother packs here. City, country, whatever...it's actually a good business to be in in South Texas, to train others to conceal carry. And Texas recently revised their "castle doctrine" law...

New Law

"The new law will also provide civil immunity for a person who lawfully uses deadly force in any of the circumstances spelled out in the bill. Police and prosecutors can still press charges if they feel deadly force was illegally used, legislative sponsors said."

From the new bill, that's very nice. I like to know that when someone breaks into my house and I kill them their family cannot sue me.

 

[DJFuji]

BOOM HEADSHOT.

Pages and pages of posts and no CS/FPS reference yet. I'm disappointed in you, ATOT.

I wonder how far away the car was when he shot and what weapon he used. If the vehicle was say, 100 yds away and he was firing with a glock, that would be very stupid (unless he didnt care about hitting his wife). I kinda doubt he was firing an m40a1 sniper rifle in the prone.

Yes I did, and like I said, if I believed someone was raping my wife, I'd shoot them given the opportunity. But the calm me right now knows that if I shot someone there will be consequences. In this case the guy gets off (situation well... worked to his advantage) but there's still three kids somewhere who while they had a scumbag (well, possibly who knows if he knew the chick was married) for a dad, they still had a dad and now they don't. It could just as well have been having public opinion on his side as he does know and still find himself in court.

I'm not saying crime of passion in that he was outraged because his wife was cheating on him, but a crime of passion in that in a moment of rage and attempt to defend his wife and given the opportunity in the moment he acted out.

 

[CaptainGoodnight]

I am confused by some of the people who think the husband was wrong. Question is: what do you think he should have done?
