So what exactly is the time limit for a victim to go out and run their assailant down? Is it just a few minutes, or do they get a day or two to think it over?
I’m not so sure about the precedent set here.

I ma still pretty upset over my truck being stolen, is it justified if I track down the guy and hit him with my new truck? Or is that just ironic?

The store owner had a f*ckin’ GUN to his head. I would imagine that adrenaline would be pumping high for quite a while.
There is no precedent. The jury came to their decision based on the facts of this case. In a similar situation, I’m certain a jury will take the length of time into consideration.

>Is it just a few minutes…?
Sure, just a few minutes. Time starts from the moment they take the gun off of you.
I think the real question is… does this mean I get to shoot someone after they take their gun off of me? Or will they just shoot me to keep that from happening?

If I was the local DA I would have prosecuted this case. (But hated myself for having to do it)
