Yup. Except that it probably would not even go to trial. Governor Perry would probably pardon him the next day.

6 months in jail? He should have shot them.
While I'm pretty pissed about what those degenerates did, they in no way deserve to be shot. Marcus clearly did the right thing in his restraint. I hope that those of you that carry/own guns do not really think that shooting someone over a dog is appropriate.
FMRAM I disagree. If I am out hunting, and someone intentionally shoots my dog, I will kill them. I will not lose any sleep over that decision and will have little problem arguing that I thought I was next.
If I am in my house and find some degenerate shooting my dog, I will kill them. Again, no sleep lost, defending my family. Fuck the law, fuck those guys who killed the innocent dog, and fuck anyone who can justify their right to live after murdering someones family member. If that means I spend some time in jail, so be it.

It reminds me of when the Michael Vick dogfighting incident was going down. A lot of people thought it was ridiculous he was going to jail for what he did since "they were just dogs." There's more to it than that, they're innocent animals and ask any dog owner, they're definitely a part of the family. I know I would have a hard time not doing anything to someone who harmed my dog.
If he had killed them, he would not have gone to jail for it. Of that, I am certain. He would have every lawyer in Texas in line to represent him. If they could not get him off for the castle law, or self defense, then all they would have to do is say "PTSD" and hold up his book. You could sit a 12 person jury anywhere in Texas who would convict that man for killing those people under the circumstances. You may not agree with it, but that's the way it is.
Do they deserve to die for killing a dog? Maybe not. If they had gotten taken out by a a former SEAL who is an American Hero, I would not shed any tears. I would be running back home and hope to draw jury duty.

So much easier to let a .45 ACP do the dirty work for you (or 9 mm).:icon_tong
When they start shooting, the appropriate response changes.
I am glad that he does not have to go through the hassle of a legal battle, even though he would have won. May God have mercy on the people who killed the dogs, because they are going to get the maximum on all the charges that the DA can pile on.

Castle law and self-defense are moot points because he was not in any danger and the jerkoff's had left the area. He would stand a decent chance with the PTSD defense claiming temporary insanity. Pickle I think your family loosing the dog and you prison for years of your life would be a greater evil than just loosing the dog.
You need to read up on some Texas case law.
