Criminals vs. Perpitrators
The use of the word criminal implies one that has been caught tried and convicted. A perpetrator implies one attempting or suspected of committing a crime and has not been caught. These were unlucky perpetrators. As previous posters suggested, they knew the risks before committing the crime. Mr. Horn broke the law in that Texas law does not authorize the use of deadly force to protect your neighbor’s home. Luckily our fine justice system in Texas also compliments itself with common sense. My meaning here is that a police officer friend told me yesterday that the Grand Jury has no-billed Mr. Horn. His only punishment will be his conscience.
Let other perps take a lesson from their more unfortunate colleagues.
