Arkansas law states that in order to use deadly force on another person that he or she must be in fear for their life and have no place to flee. Regardless of what the local prosecutors convicted me of, I had no doubt that my life was in danger, and there was no where to run. Jimmy Johnson attacked me in my own home. The only exit was thru him. Despite the fact that he was an extremely muscular man, from being a bricklayer for over 15 years, he was over 10 years younger than I. I was born in 1950 and am completely disabled. The police officers because of my slow mobility that I was highly intoxicated. No alcohol blood content was ever performed on me. Jimmy's autopsy results revealed an extremely high level of alcohol. Jimmy's criminal record reveals an extremely high level of violence. Why should anyone be required to turn their back on someone who is trying to kill them? If I come in your home and try to beat you to death with a deadly object then by law you must find a way out first

If you felt strongly that your own life was in danger, then I guess you use it and let the facts speak for themselves.

It depends on what happened in your own home to cause your use of deadly force. The police and prosecutors see that someone is dead and the people require a damn good reason for the death (it's coined retribution). You need to hire a GREAT lawyer to get out of this one! Good luck!

When someone comes into your home with the intent to harm your or take your personal belongings, I think deadly force should be used no questions asked. If more people did so, there wouldn't be so many home invasions.

Can't answer that without details. If your life was in danger or that of someone else, then probably yes. If a burglar was running out the door to get away and you blasted him, then probably no.

NOPE. Kill a few more and we can save tax dollars and prison space. In Kentucky, we can shoot if we find someone in our house at night regardless armed or not. Light em up.

You would know the answer to that better than I.
I can't imagine how i'd feel about taking someone's life.
