Hello Onifre,

And that, in many cases, will make YOU the criminal. Not because I say so, because our judicial system works like that
I live in Texas and by their laws, CS would not be the criminal.
Texas castle doctrine writes:
SECTION 3. Section 9.32, Penal Code, is amended to read as follows:
Sec. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON. (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another:
(1) if the actor [he] would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and
(2) when and to the degree the actor [he] reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to protect the actor [himself] against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or
(B) to prevent the other’s imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.
In this case the mere act of robbery is enough to justify the use of deadly force. Doesn't make it right, but it does make it legal.
