(DailyDig.com) – When police officers in Amarillo, Texas, who were responding to a complaint about a burglary arrived at the site of the robbery, they discovered the corpse of a 53-year-old man who was allegedly an invader and suspected thief.
Cedric Milligan’s corpse was located by the police, and they suspect that he had been attempting to force his way into the residence via the back door when the woman who was the homeowner fired on him. According to the information provided by ABC 7, the event took place on June 22 around 5:30 a.m.
The Amarillo, Texas, murder squad is presently conducting an investigation into the event, according to News Channel 10’s report.
The ‘Castle Doctrine’ rules are prevalent in numerous states, of which Texas is one. It is a piece of legislation that gives homeowners the right to use force that is deadly inside their homes in the event that they feel they need to defend themselves against an intruder. The law does not require the homeowner to make an initial effort to flee or evacuate the premises before using force that is fatal.
In December of 2020, there was an attempt to insert an obligation to retreat, also known as adding a withdrawal mandate, to the state’s Castle Doctrine. However, the state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbot, quashed the idea by refusing the motion. He articulated it to make sure that everyone was aware and had a crystal-clear understanding that the current Castle Doctrine would not be lowered, nor does it scale.
They do not require homeowners in Texas to withdraw or leave their homes under any circumstances. Governor Abbot claimed that it is more important than ever before for householders to take precautions against potential dangers, particularly in light of proposals to defund the police, such as “police cash flow.” He said that Texas would defend the rights guaranteed to them by the Second Amendment of the Constitution.
