Yup, it's pretty clear in Florida Statutes Chapter 776. 🤠
Possible motive? Well what the hell do you think he was trying to do, make coffee for her? Jesus……Investigators are still working to figure out how Wright got into the woman’s apartment and a possible motive,…
I don't care the motive. Sometimes it's just cause they are evil pricks.Possible motive? Well what the hell do you think he was trying to do, make coffee for her? Jesus……
Thankfully, we have f.s. 776.013(2)(a) and (b) providing a presumption that the victim possessed a reasonable fear of GBH or death, as well as a presumption that the home invader is doing so with intent to cause said harm [see f.s. 776.013(2)(a) and (b) and 776.013(4)].I don't care the motive. Sometimes it's just cause they are evil pricks.
Nobody, not even me gets past my kids Bichon Frise's ears, who then barks/growls his fool head off like he's a Rottweiler or something. Not my kind of dog, but he's a great alarm system!Open my eyes in the middle of the night and there is someone there that ain’t supposed to be, they will be dancing to the disco flash ball! They would of also had to get by my two dogs & NOBODY gets past my Chihuahua’s ears, let alone my Shepard’s.
You are correct, f.s. 776.013 says nothing about the intruder having a weapon or the defender's use of deadly force being dependent upon the intruder having a weapon.I don't remember or recognize anything about armed or unarmed...I only recognize an uninvited threat...
Why must they always have the motive. The motive was to do BAD!Possible motive? Well what the hell do you think he was trying to do, make coffee for her? Jesus……
I think that was joecarry's point! Although think perhaps the justice system tries to document "motive" as an element of the crime in general when they charge suspects, (i.e., "means, motive, opportunity, etc.")?Why must they always have the motive. The motive was to do BAD!
I've brought up this point SO many times in discussions about violent crime... only to get blank stares or arguments that consistently (and delusionally) posit, "If we can figure out WHY they do it, we can prevent it."Why must they always have the motive. The motive was to do BAD!
