This past Thursday night, Jan. 5, 2023, an armed and masked armed robber was plying his trade in Ranchito #4 Taqueria in Houston TX, when one of the customers decided to express his objections--in the form of nine rounds fired into the robber, unsurprisingly with fatal results. The shooter fled the scene and has not yet been identified, although authorities are looking--though they state that they have not yet decided whether to charge the shooter.
Although the initial shots fired by the shooter appear to be legally justified as defense of self, defense of others, and (uniquely under Texas law) perhaps even defense of property, the last shot fired looks more difficult to justify. At the moment that ninth shot was fired the robber was apparently unconscious on the floor and had been disarmed of the only weapon he was known to possess, when the shooter fired one last shot, apparently into the robber's head.
Fortunately for all of us, this event was captured on video, and today I conduct legal analysis and commentary on this video, in the context of Texas use-of-force law--and with special guest Attorney Steve Gosney!

This is one of a series of content in which I read from the notable book, "The Art of Cross-Examination," written by NYC Attorney Francis Wellman in 1908, and regularly updated and expanded over the next several decades. The specific book I'm reading from was published in 1948, and was given to me as a gift when I graduated law school in 1991.
