Lunenburg County Commonwealth’s Attorney Robert Clement announced today that he and the Multi-Jurisdiction Grand Jury have agreed that the store clerk at the Little B Convenience Store in Victoria will not be prosecuted for the fatal shooting of an armed robber.
Clement said he called the jury, which consists of citizens from the counties of Campbell, Charlotte, Halifax, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg and Pittsylvania, to meet on September 11, 2017 at Lunenburg Courthouse, to allow citizens to be a part of the process in determining whether charges should be placed. |

He's lucky he wasn't charged. He was okay until he stepped outside and fired a so-called 'warning shot'.
Totally unnecessary, and provoked the exchange of gunfire that took the dirtball's life.
He could have and should have watched from inside the front door, only moved outside to witness direction of flight without drawing attention to himself as the perp fled the scene, and waited for the cops.
Lucky dude, indeed. |

Luckily, he was in rural Virginia and not NJ, NY or California.
The people in these places judge the people involved and their actions, rather than strict interpretation of the law.
In any case, all's well that ends well. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins ... Society is in every state a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. — THOMAS PAINE |
