My sister called me this morning with the answer. She saw the neighbor working in her garden and went over to speak to her.
She told my sister she had spent the night in jail and was released the next morning. The Sheriff told her she did the right thing, He was happy not to have to go pick up a body.
But if the peeping Tom came to her window again not to hesitate. Shoot the-man and call his office, he’d take care of it.

@Vikingswest1 It's good that this comment comes from an American member. Peeping into windows is an offence which is punished with a fine I guess. How sick is it to suggest shooting?!

@RubyHawk
She would be guilty of murder if she shot him outside of her house. Deadly force can only be used in a potential deadly situation. If the peeping Tom was just peering into a window, using deadly force is a crime.

Funny that the Sheriff said to shoot the man.
She has no right to use deadly force in the case of a peeping Tom.

Not so much.
What he could have done isn't relevant.
If he made no attempt to enter, using deadly force is illegal.

Thank God the police encouraged her to shoot who I don't know and take care of the situation. Wish she is safe. Of course I don't agree to the idea of crime for crime.

You should never shoot someone outside of your home. They have to be INSIDE. Otherwise you could be charged with murder.

In this case jail was the safer place to be. I am glad she is home.

That sounds backward. He was glad to not have a body yet he told her to shoot the guy.

@RubyHawk maybe he smartened up. Hopefully he's not ordering in someone else's window instead.

@MarshaMusselman I hope not. My sister is a close neighbor.

One way to keep peeping Tom's in place to teach them a lesson to respect the privacy of women inside of their homes.
