I live in a state (Texas) with a bad reputation for a lot of things. One of them is how liberal they are in exercising the death penalty. I am not in favor it it. But read this story and see if you don't find real cause for at least considering it. Then think about how this has been dealt with so far--she got bail for $10,000. Do you think it's because the victim was a non-entity, a homeless man?

BTW: I had never been in a position to think myself capable of killing someone in self-defense. But when my first child was born the ante was instantly raised and I knew that if I had to kill to protect my child, it would be possible.
