Texas white man who killed unarmed driver uses “Stand Your Ground” Law as defense

San Antonio, November 1 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state ofTexas, a San Antonio-area homeowner will use the state’s “Stand Your Ground” laws to defend himself against a murder charge, after he shot and killed a motorist who pulled into his driveway — apparently because the driver was lost. 

Sixty-five-year-old Terry Turner, who is white, fatally shot unarmed 31-year-old Adil Dghoughi, who was of Moroccan origin, through the driver’s side window of his car as Dghoughi was turning around in Turner’s driveway. 

Turner said in an affidavit he believed Dghoughi was armed and that he fired his handgun in self-defense.  Dghoughi’s family and attorney say it took nearly two weeks of calls to the Texas Rangers and the state’s Department of Justice before police finally arrested Terry Turner.
