The way for a victim to lose their innocence
Some follow-up media reports to the case involving the 80-year old homeowner indicate that the deceased outlaw was not pregnant, as she had claimed. This fact will make it a little easier on the prosecutor.
Dazed and traumatized, the homeowner (Greer) had evidently started shooting at the pair of burglars while they were still in his home, but missed. He then followed them outside as they tried to escape.
A virtual reconstruction of this incident, based upon media reports including the homeowner's televised 'confession', would suggest that this homeowner will be charged with manslaughter. We'll see.
