I recommend to actually look at the details of this case. You know. Beyond the BREAKING NEWS attitude, where opinions are stated as facts and evidence is ignored. Also, this forum has a search function. This has been discussed in detail before in this forum: http://www.usacarry.com/forums/general-firearm-discussion/48324-self-defense-fails-montana-man-s-murder-trial.html. NavyLCDR's post may answer your questions. The term castle doctrine is just that, a term. Your state's criminal code defines what justifiable homicide is under that term. It is state specific. Ignorance of this law is not an excuse and will land you in jail. Do you know your state's castle doctrine law?
