"An Ohio grand jury found a 65-year-old Dayton man guilty of murder in the shooting deaths of two teens last week, Dayton Daily News reported. The Montgomery County Common Pleas Court jury convicted 65-year-old Victor Santana of four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault and one count of attempt to commit murder.
On the night of Aug. 28, 2019, Harrison, Henderson and Gibson, who was 19 at the time, snuck into a detached garage behind Santana’s home to smoke marijuana in a car they thought was abandoned. Gibson said Santana opened the door to the vehicle in the dark and fired without warning. “He didn’t say nothing at all,” he testified. Gibson hid under the car and escaped after Santana left the scene."
Sounds to me that this guy got a raw deal....Anytime someone is on your property without permission; you should have every right to kill them where they stand.....Unfortunately, the Stand Your Ground law in his state was enacted after this shooting and didn't apply to this case...Hopefully he can win this on appeal....I had a couple of kids sneak onto my property to hang out and drink and smoke weed...since the back of my property is adjacent to the community lake; kids try to hang out there...I told them to leave; but thinking back, I could have easily just shot them...luckily, they were not armed...and ran off.....
Yea, you may have some who will say "oh, they were kids and kids make mistakes" -- but in my opinion, kids stop being kids when they commit crimes like this....if you as a parent allow your kids to sneak onto other people's property, allow them to drink and do drugs -- you should be charged with some type of crime -- that parent should be held accountable....This type of stuff didn't happen in the past...kids didn't just disrespect the law and disobey their parents and authority like this.....these 2 boys had to learn that lesson with their life -- hopefully other kids will take heed and make better choices...
