I don't know. Maybe it seemed more proactive to face the threat than hide. It might have seemed like that to me.
It was a fatally flawed plan, obviously. Anyone can see that, now.
I don't defend everything she did as smart or wise or well-executed. But she's not alone in that.... other people also made questionable decisions that day, IMHO.
If it is possible she had a justified right to self defense... then what does that do to him? Is it possible for two people to BOTH think they have a legitimate right to self defense? It's possible they're both wrong, or only one of them... but can they both be right?
Now... let me be clear about something, so that maybe I can save you from feeling like you need to harangue me again because my opinion doesn't mirror your own. I am just musing about possibilities and legal and moral decisions brought up by this circumstance, for possible better understanding of human nature, and self-defense considerations. I am under NO illusion that my opinion really makes a difference to the case, or to you. I'm only answering because it was an interesting question for me.
You know she could have prevented this whole thing. She pulled the gun on him. He won't be charged.
If anything people should be talking about how she used a deadly weapon, her car, on him, 2 times, before running away from the scene of an accident she caused. Let's talk about how he could have shot her then but he didn't.
I didn't realize she wasn't pregnant. Apparently that's not going viral like when they said was pregnant.
I had been looking every week or so for an update, but missed this one. Everyone kept waiting for some big reveal about the case and it seems to be exactly what we thought in the days after it happened. He was within his rights. Here's a link to a news story.
Quote:
"The State Attorney's Office has completed a comprehensive review of this case. The Orange City Police Department concluded after a thorough investigation that the suspect would not be charged with a crime. While the fact in this case are truly heartbreaking, the law does not authorize filing of any criminal charged. Our sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to the Morales family," a statement from the State Attorney's Office 7th Circuit read.

She wasn’t a librarian either, she was a library assistant. The media wonders why we no longer trust them, we’ll this is a prime example. Pregnant librarian was all part of the headline used to in order to make the headlines more dramatic and then very slowly corrected in a sentence casually buried towards the bottom of future stories.

Biker kicks car.. the two guys who were witnesses were with him. The woman is dead and there is one side to the story. Biker and two others chase her up and down the streets .She called the police . He went off with road rage. He went to her home with the two others. Her mother and daughter were in the house. She came out of the house to protect herself and her family holding a gun . Her last words to the biker were leave me alone, and he pumped 5 shots into her instead of walking away.

Fair enough.
I'll leave it up to the police to decide which recap was more accurate to reality.
