This chaffed me:

Assistant State’s Attorney Glen Neubauer maintains that Pinkerton should not have shot Green but rather called the police instead, adding the fact that Pinkerton grabbing his gun before answering the door at 2 a.m. was “bizarre behavior in itself.”

At 0200, IF I answer the door, you can be damned sure I'm armed and my wife is backing me up!!!

Well - If someone kicks in my front door at anytime, I would have to shoot also.

 

[Bogboy]

Answering the door armed at 2:00 AM is not "bizarre behavior." It is called "intelligence."

Yep.

So... was it girl scouts selling cookies at 2am?
stranded motorist?

DO tell us Hippy Liberal DA, what about this case makes it murder?

 

[FbodTrek]

LMAO at the Liberals defending the DA in comments section.
They seem to think a Glock 22 is a .22 cal firearm XD


You cannot fix stupid.

Sounds like his wife backed him up alright....she backed right into 'ol boys penis while hubby was overseas!!!
Sounds like a good kill to me but being love triangle related sure does make it a touchy case.

He shoulda bled the chick too, I would if my old lady was sleeping around- Course I'm from TX.
As long as it ain't premeditated, we can ACTUALLY get away with killing our spouse in a "Crime of passion".
husband in Service overseas, invites stranger into your home around your kids....
Divorce at the very least. Take her for some Alimony to pay off your now "criminal" defense.

someone needs to go knock on Mr. Neubauer's door at 2am and see if he comes to the door armed. I'm willing to bet that if someone kicked in his door and came after his family aggressively, he would not be waiting for the cops to show up. Can't believe we have these kinds of idiots in seats of power. OMG!

He and his domestic partner would probably hide in the closet in tears pulling their hair and wetting themselves.

Learned or worse enforced helplessness should never be tolerated.
