Good for her, as far as there was no with held additional info between the
perp and the victim
.
	I hope there comes a day when rightful situations like this are not
even worth mentioning, and all the perps get there "justice".

	This guy might have had the ever popular (homeless junky/nutter)
death wish or some psychological defect in assessing his situation at the
time.

	I wonder if her gun was confiscated, so she could sweat it out
during court sessions....maybe NOT, but that's how it's always done in
defense oppressed countries like Canada and Zimbabwe.

	RKBA and Castle Doctrine practice are shunned by the local police
here in Canada, with their Peel ego causing legal owners a world of misery.
They have a vast resource of hire-a-con plea bargainers for sucker punching
or stabbing/shooting you on the street.....as a Victim of crime, I been
there, years of  courts too.
