Did he do something wrong?
After watching the video and reviewing the
texas castle doctrine there are a few things that I would consider that he did wrong.
1. He was not in his
"habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment". He was in the middle of the street. Which does not qualify as any of these areas.
2. A case could be made that he provoked the person against whom the force was used. By initiating the confrontation with his neighbors and then returning to the street inorder to continue the confrontation.
3. The victims were not involved in aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.
I believe that these three qualifiers for the use of deadly force taken in conjunction with each other, would mean that Mr. Rodriquez was in the wrong and did in fact commit manslaughter.
