The totality of the circumstances on this one was just a wee bit different than t'other.
Ding ding.
Hey, I readily admit the other man was cleared and rightly so-the difference is that I was ho
ming in on what cleared him, and not on the whole "Hey, if I see a guy naked in my daughter's room I'm swinging away!" mentality, which will land you in jail.
What gets you off in these situation is a factual scenario indicating something more than just not knowing what was going on; rather, having good reason to believe that something sinister was in the works (sinister as in felonious conduct that your daughter
does not consent to) is what clears a person under the castle doctrine laws.
But then again, I've got a couple months' wait before I can give legal advice (should the exam have gone well.) I'm just one of many clowns with a law degree, so anyone who honestly wants to know should pay a real attorney for advice and see what he says in any state you choose.
Edited to correct typo (thanks for the spell check, Arfin-no that was not an intentional use of the word "honing" as opposed to "homing")
