    … I believe it was justified...
    Please point out the relevant statute and make the case given the totality of information available to the public.

    I can see it going either way as I posted above. What is missing are the statements he made to police, which may have sealed his fate.

    So if one of the women were getting raped, "Not my wife....."?
    READ the timeline, if the man was running away, no longer fighting, no longer a threat when he was shot in the back THEN self defense and/or the defense of others does not apply. I was not there so I do not know what happened, I do know that in my advanced carry class the instructors (lawyer, judge and a police chief ) all said that the cost of a legit shooting that wound up going to court was about $10,000 to the shooter even if found innocent of any charges.
    Each of us gets to make our own shoot don't shoot criteria (law also gets to make one). Mine is simple IF there is fear of loss of life-then I shoot

    If you're running away from shooting my wife, I'm shooting you graveyard dead whenever the opportunity presents itself. That minute, or next month.
    The guy came BACK into the store. Yes there is too much unknown to make definitive statements so we are discussing hypotheticals.

    Your post is probably one of the best examples of what not to say on the internet that I have seen in a long time.

    Best of luck defending that statement.
