My mom was out visiting with my uncle in AZ. He's telling her that if someone breaks into her home looking to do her harm and she defends herself killing the person, the cops will still take her to jail. I assume he means for the night until things get sorted, but it seems to have scared my mom into maybe 2nd guessing herself if the scenario presented itself. She is widowed and lives by herself in north GA. I don't want her to hesitate and/or wait for the cops. She, of course, doesn't want to spend any time in jail. Can anyone speak to this?
