Please be "kind of joking," again.
Random but this reminded me of Joe Horn:
Christina's Court had an interesting case today. There was a Texas man who loved guns and hunting who hated his neighbor's pit bull that kept getting loose. The man said the dog was vicious, although in reality it was a relatively timid dog that growled but would run if yelled at. The neighbors kept letting the dog get out, violating the leash law. Instead of calling Animal Control, this man saw the dog outside his house one day staring at him, went INSIDE his house, came BACK outside and shot the dog FIVE times, killing it. He called 911 and calmly told the police "my neighbor's pit bull got out again today...no one's hurt...I killed it." THEN instead of telling his neighbor that he killed the dog, he dumps the dog at a dumpster. His defense is that none of this would've happened if the owners had not been negligent. The Judge ruled that this man wasn't in danger, instead he was waiting for a chance to use this dog as a target. He was accused of murdering the dog (and being evil).
This is a civil suit and not a criminal suit, but dogs' lives mean something here. 
Maybe the burglarers' families can get a civil suit going--or do the illegal immigrant status and Texas law thingie void that opportunity?
