Concealed handgun permit holder found NOT GUILTY by jury
**************************************************
Nicholas Thiel got into a confrontation with his girlfriend’s estranged husband and ended up shooting the husband.* The jury agreed it was a case if self-defense, finding Thiel not guilty.
So, in the jury’s mind, Thiel **reasonably** felt that he was in danger of being killed or grievously hurt when he shot the husband.
Very sad that it had to come to the point where lethal force was required.
