Texas law is a bit too lenient, in my opinion, about letting people murder so-called intruders. Every time I hear about someone shooting their spouse in the middle of the night, I wonder if it was really an accident. I admit that I’m probably a bit too jaded.

In this case, though, it’s hard to see how she could justify killing someone when she had an easy way to escape and wasn’t threatened in an way.

I hope the jury does the right thing. She deserves to be punished for killing him.
