At least until the personal injury attorneys get involved.

poor kid has to live with him killing somone.

 

[krotsman]

The homeowner will be probably be arrested for the child having access to the gun. Well, maybe not here, but if we were in a norther or wester state, probably...

 

[dantheman]

There will be civil suits and the homeowner could lose everything defending a good shoot .

Maybe the home owners should do a first suit against the family for therapy for the kid.

Odd how if a 12 year old defends himself or someone else with a weapon it’s considered a bad thing. But every day and night 12 year olds are involved with criminal activity include murder and armed robbery in $hit hole places like and that’s the norm. I’m hoping it was a Winchester rifle.

The dumb aces should know you don’t brake into a house on Winchester lane!

It was my brother's kid and they are getting him some counseling. He's a Hero for saving his mom.

Hero indeed! He was faced with protecting his family and did what every full grown man should do. Cudos to this young man. I hope he realizes that he did nothing wrong.

^^^^ This.

And the moment some ambulance chaser starts sniffing around, there needs to be some SERIOUS opposition brought to the attention of lawmakers.

He is. Period.

If this in any way goes south for them, please post on this forum. I'll contribute to help make things right. I'm sure others will too.

Ignore my signature for today, please.

I realize being cynical is second nature to many of us during times like these, but I can personally assure everyone here, there won’t be no damn personal injury ******** lawsuit associated with this case.

I hope you are correct but, are you willing to bet your life and the lives of your family on your statement? I sure would not bet mine or my family's lives! A lawyer will take on any case if they have a feeling they can make some money regardless if they and their client wins the case. Win or lose, the lawyer gets paid. And I assure you, lawyers make more per hour than an RN nurse does! Unless the rate of pay for RN nurses have increased to $300 per hour or more lately!

I'm with Magdump. Don't see the deceased's family ponying up the big bucks needed to attract a plaintiff attorney to this case. If by some strange miracle they do, can't imagine that attorney convincing any Louisiana jury that a kid heroically defending himself and his mom in their own home was somehow negligent or in the wrong.

False. Win or lose, a defense attorney gets paid

I mostly agree but, have you seen all the ambulance chaser ads, commercials over the past few years? William Gee, Morris Bart, Galloway and Jeffcoat, Gordan McKernan and others? They will go after money like a cajun goes after prostitutes in a whore house on nickle night!

You are only partially correct. All attorneys regardless if plantiff or defendant attorneys gets paid regardless if they win or lose the case. I have had enough dealings with attorneys on both sides of the fence to know. None of them work or take on a case for free!

You tell your nephew that he's a hero for saving his mom and protecting his family. He's the son that we all want, someone who faces the threat and eliminates the threat to his family. I teach my boy about gun safety, when to use it, and if there's a threat to use it without fear. We should all teach our kids about the proper use of guns and when to use them. I wish your nephew the best in life. Hope all goes well for him.

 

[AndyG]

Yes, of course. You'll notice those ads are aimed at parties injured (or "injured") through no fault of their own. Not one of the above would take your case if you rang them up and told them that you wanted to sue another driver for an accident that you caused.

Google "No Recovery, No Fee". I've worked many cases where plaintiff attorneys actually lose money. It is not uncommon for a plaintiff attorney to cover a client's medical bills, for example. If that attorney later gets zero'd in court, those sunk expenses are not always reimbursed/recovered. That's part of the risk in plaintiff work.
