He didn't shoot her, but he's charged with her murder  email this discussion to a friend?

Tony Curtis Phillips, 29, charged in girlfriend's shooting death. He wasn't shooter but is charged because he allegedly was stealing SUV. Shooter probably won't be charged because he is covered by 'no retreat' law. Florida law says people can use lethal force if they fear for their lives.

Do you think that the shooter should be charged?

The man who fired the shots should not be charged at all. He was defending himself against criminals who stole his SUV and who he believed were about to run him over. The reason the girls boyfriend is charged is because it was his fault she died. If he hadn't been stealing the SUV, and hadn't driven towards the owner, she wouldn't have been shot. The felony murder statute is very clear that if someone dies while you are committing a felony it becomes felony murder. These laws are in place to protect security guards and such who may accidentally shoot an innocent person while trying to stop a bank robber.

Actually yes I do think that the hooter should be charged. There were other options he could have choose then to shoot the windshield. there was the radiator he could have shot, or even the tires but he didn't have to shoot where he did and it causes a senseless death of a girl that still had her life ahead of her. I think he should be charged for her death and not Tony Curtis Phillips since he had no idea if the guy would shoot or not and he isn't the one who pulled the trigger he put her life in danger yes, but how can anyone know that a person would really shoot to try to kill?
