I followed this case from the beginning on another thread. He was fully in his rights to kill those men under Texas law. It would have been a waste of time to even attempt to put him on trial because no jury would have convicted him. The law in Texas is such that you CAN kill a person burglarizing a neighbor if there is suspicion that they might escape otherwise. My Horn called the police when he saw the men going into the house. The police typically didn't arrive in time. So as they were leaving with the loot, he shot them. I have no problem with that. If you don't want to get shot, don't break into people's houses.
