Actually, calling him a visitor is reaching. It makes no sense that he bought a gun to protect her, leaves the gun at her place, but he doest actually reside there. But we're just going circles. Let's wait and see if law enforcement or the prosecutors believe he was a visitor. I haven't read any mention of that.
What you're missing is what is going on in the mind of the reasonable homeowner as things are happening. I think it's really unrealistic to think someone is going to make a distinction between an intruder trying to open the door an intruder trying to pick a lock, etc. What I see in this situation is fear and confusion, both of which were reasonable.
No it isn't. There are different degrees of being a visitor, but no matter what your are still a visitor. It was her house, not his. He frequents the place, because it's his girlfriend. Legally he is not the owner hence it is NOT his property.
We are not going in circles, you are creating something that doesn't exist in the world: people who don't live together, who are not married, who aren't on the lease or the deed, becomin owners of property lol. Hilarious.
Oh yeah, BIG distinction:
someone knocked not he door and jiggled the handle......he stopped
Versus....Someone picking the lock, using a crow bar, breaking a window.
Are you seriously trying to tell there is no difference? Wait! You are! Lol
The dumb ass was confused, and he irresponsibly used his gun and accidentally killed someone.
The dumb ass, knew the cops were on thier way and nothing indicated there was forced entry.
Hendrix is a stupid person. Hendrix should do prison time for being such a dumb ass and irresponsibly killing someone. He should also pay some sort of financial restitution to the man's wife.
Also the wife should sue his ass.
