I've been following this case. Any thoughts on the verdict? Girlfriend's statements to a neighbor that they were gonna try and catch a burglar themselves (cause the cops weren't taking neighborhood burglaries seriously) must have been very damning. Prosecution claimed the deliberately left the garage door open with a purse inside to set up and opportunity to use deadly force. Watching the news coverage, one thing that was overwhelmingly obvious: the Missoulian was sure doing alot of heavy lifting for the prosecution in their coverage of this case.
