And because of the domestic disturbance calls he got before, even if it was an honest mistake it'll be hell to prove it in court.

Guy gets his legs amputated as a child, then builds replacements and becomes successful, has everything any guy could want...and still manages to berkeley it all up. Amazing.

Maybe he thought she was a replicant?

But seriously...

If he thought she was a burglar, why shoot her 4 times?

Reloading... that is an issue.

The report I saw said the Police are recommending holding him without bond.

I guess they think he'll run....

The prosecutor is saying that with his past domestic abuse problems, his defense doesn't have a leg to stand on.

The report says a bathroom door.

So his story is that he thought someone broke into his home in a gated community and proceeded to the bathroom, where, without seeing his victim, he fired four shots through the door?
