did you see the interview this morning? He said that the men started toward him and as he shot the first time guy turned....the 911 tape shows there wasn't but seconds between the first and second shots...and I think (as I said earlier) andrenilin took over..I doubt he was thinking clearly at that moment.
a sad situation all around.
No, I have not seen any interviews.
I'm sure you're right about adrenaline taking over, and I doubt he was thinking clearly, and it is, indeed, a sad situation. Horn's going to have to live with it the rest of his life.
Which, now that I think on it, also suggests to me that there may have been some psychological value for him in standing up and court accounting for his actions.
And possibly the grand jury proceedings did that. I have to admit I'm not familiar with proceedings like that in Texas. Pennsylvania doesn't use grand juries any more. Judges decide whether there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime.
Nevertheless, I will have to disagree with some folks around here. In my book, Horn is no hero. And, far from being fired, the prosecutor who wanted to charge him should get a medal for upholding standards of justice.
