R.I.P. Carter Albrecht|It's in the Air|Return to Sender

The sensational media seems to have overlooked or downplayed a key piece of information and the police shrug it off based on the new law.

Ryann's neighbor's back door was undamaged and unmarred by Carter. The only damage was to the window through which the homeowner shot. That window goes from roughly the middle of the door to about four inches from the top of the door. Okay, the neighbor was scared... most people would be but claiming to aim high so he would just scare Carter off and aiming at Carter's head are two very different things.

Nothing will bring Carter back. Convicting the neighbor of manslaughter just hurts more people. He has to live with his actions. What if had been Ryann, pounding on the door seeking sanctuary from someone who intended her harm? Would you feel justified in killing her if she was fearing for her life?

This guy had the capability to stop anyone who broke through his door but no one broke through his door. He chose to take a life instead of considering if he was truly in danger. When a killer is exonerated, the problem is the law.

There is much, much more to this whole situation. Just stop talking bad about Carter. What he did was horrible, albeit unbelievable to us that knew him, but we'll never know his side of it and he paid the ultimate price for his actions.

I do not condone brutality against anyone. That includes between Carter and Ryann but also between the neighbor and Carter. He had so much good to give and he was exceptional at it. Let's let that be his legacy.
