The Texas Legislature its on way to approve a bill that would give the people the right to use deadly force against individuals who try to aggravate them outside of their home. Until now, the Castle Doctrine only allows the use of deadly force when being attacked at home. In other wiords, up untill now, the castle doctrine, which dates back into the old west era, allowed for person to use deadly force against anyone who tried to break in their home, without having to prove they tried to retreat, If the attack was anyplace outside their home, they had to prove they tried to retreat, or else they would be charged with manslaughter at least, what the NEW castle doctrine pretends is to allow the use of deadly force to be used anywhere without that person having to prove he tried to back down..... I think this bill is wrong & should not become the law, because it will cause prosecutors headaches when trying to prosecute murderers who did it willingly, What do you think?
