Yessir, that's why I 'renewed' it. Was watching something about the trial on the news yesterday, and searched for the topic as I wasn't sure it had been mentioned.Had to go look up why this was brought up again, it seems the trial is now taking place.
As noted previously, I'll wait until the defense presents it case, and see how it addresses those aspects I, personally, find 'disturbing'.
IS Byron Smith some sadistic ol' sonofabich? Or, is he some guy that just finally had enough with people, and (IIRC) the same people, breaking into his home and the law doing nothing about it? Not sure.
Still, IMO, the 'moral' of the story is, if you don't break into someone's home, this never becomes an issue. As we have a presumption of innocence in this country, at least for now I'm willing to believe he was justified, and therefore innocent. The prosecution has to convince me otherwise, beyond a reasonable doubt. JMO.
