I sat through the reading of the "court's charge" (the instructions and law the jury receives from the judge) and, man, was it long. Not only were there a million definitions in it, but there was also the law of self defense, reasonable use of force for disciplining a child, and . . . wait for it . . . The Castle Doctrine. And that became a big part of the defense for the Aggravated Assault case where an adult male is the alleged victim.
First time a jury has ever even considered the Castle Doctrine in Wise County. (And I doubt that the legislature really thought it would be used, in the words of the defense attorney, in a case "involving a couple of drunks," and where the old saying, "some people just got it coming to them" might apply.)
Edit: Guy was found guilty on all three charges (three victims).

If this is in reference to the trial below where the dude went off and beat a woman and a mentally impaired child, then I have to say the "some people just got it coming to them" bit might be a new low for defense attorneys. I'm hoping this is different trial you are updating us on.
Was the child mentally impaired before the beating or did it become mentally impaired after the beating?
Please explain the "mentally impaired" child's disability in detail.
From the WCM Update:
"The victims include his wife and her mentally disabled son and his stepfather who he allegedly assaulted with a metal rod and a kitchen chair, leaving gaping wounds in his head, hands and left arm."
WCM says disabled but impaired is a suitable synonym. They do not give us a detailed explanation to the child's disability, or whether the beating caused it.
As quoted in the Chico anal, uh annual newspaper, The crackpipe, " I tuld em dat wuz enugh butt dey dinot lestin. Dat is why dey is a lil marked up."
Anyone in here ever see 1 person have an arguement?
Firing squad for them all. No repeat offenders or victims, for that matter.
If they had been Black it would have been a slam dunk acquittal.
