This guy in all likelihood won't see the inside of a courtroom. Unless the prosecution has other information, my guess is they won't prosue charges against him.

A similar situation happened here about a dozen years or so ago, when a man was shot and killed for being a peeping tom. He was shot in the back, while running away. He hadn't hurt anyone. The home owner was charged with murder and when it got to the Grand Jury, they tossed it out. Since then not many of these incidents here have been persued by the District Attornies office. They know it will just get through out.

My personal take on this was that it was murder. The guy was running away. Seems to me that the guy that got hit in the butt with the arrow was probably running away too. I have no problem with self defense... as long as it is self defense.
