A Wisconsin man who shot and killed his brother-in-law when caught searching the victim’s computer for evidence of child pornography is entitled to have jurors consider his claim of self-defense, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held Wednesday.
Alan M. Johnson was convicted by a Walworth County jury of first-degree reckless homicide for the shooting death of his sister’s husband, identified as K.M. in court documents. Johnson had broken into K.M.’s home to search his computer for child pornography. Johnson said he shot K.M. five times to protect himself after K.M. discovered him in the house and physically attacked him. |

| I have to say, as distasteful as I find this, I'm forced to agree with the dissent. For good or bad, this guy broke into his brother-in-law's home; the motive is irrelevant. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
