White castle, black castle

[Hazir]

Everything you said is wrong. The "castle doctrine" is nothing more or less than a "stand your ground" context. As Texas already has fairly broad self defense laws in that regard, it doesn't give you anything "extra" at all. It's just an alternate phrasing to make things more understandable (or alternatively, make it sound more appealing/palatable). The two are used fairly interchangeably in Texas.

Thanks for clearing that up. It sounds a lot more like the way I understood it. Which is that there is an across the board lower threshold for establishing self defense in case of use of force against any perceived threat.

Still don't know how it could apply in this case. Don't people in the USA lock their front doors?

Also jury came back with a guilty verdict on the murder charge. Justice.

In my experiences, no. The 2 main groups I've seen that locked their doors during the day are single women and families with escape toddlers, otherwise it's a nightly check and nothing more.
