    Default Man not Indicted After Killing Man His Cheating Wife Claimed was Rapist

    Also, his wife is charged with manslaughter.

    I love Texas.

    Wife Charged After Husband Shoots Her Alleged Lover

    FORT WORTH, Texas -- A husband who killed his wife's alleged lover after finding them together escaped a murder charge from a grand jury, which instead indicted the wife for causing the shooting by claiming she was being raped.

    Tracy Roberson, 35, was charged Thursday with manslaughter in the death of Devin LaSalle, who police said Roberson invited to her suburban Arlington house in December with a text message that read, "Hi friend, come see me please! I need to feel your warm embrace!"

    But prosecutors said when Darrell Roberson arrived home from a card game in Dallas and found his wife -- clad in only a robe and underwear -- with LaSalle outside in a pickup truck, Tracy Roberson told her husband she was being raped.

    Police said Darrell Roberson fired four shots as LaSalle tried to drive away, with one striking him in the head.

    A Tarrant County grand jury declined to indict Darrell Roberson, 38, on a murder charge.

    Tracy Roberson, 35, faces two to 20 years if convicted.

    The Enlightened-beyond-the-use-of-violence Europeans may now commence their dithering, and tsk-tsking of us violent Americans. I expect lots of posts about how this man is evil for shooting someone driving away, shooting when any alleged deed was already done, shooting at a man at all, and shooting a gun.

    Ja Mata, Tosa.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
