Well, part of his defense was that he wasn't intending to kill her as he shot his weapon at her car (after she refused to do perform illegal sex acts with him ... which I'll repeat were not part of the escort deal anyway).
Any gun owner should be smacking their head at that little stupid bit of rationalization. If you point and fire a weapon at a car, you are firing at the person inside the car as well. Intent my ass, so to speak.

Basically, this:
Quote:
During closing arguments Tuesday, Gilbert's defense team conceded the shooting did occur but said the intent wasn't to kill. Gilbert's actions were justified, they argued, because he was trying to retrieve stolen property: the $150 he paid Frago. It became theft when she refused to have sex with him or give the money back, they said."
It became theft when she refused to have sex with him (because she's not a prostitute), even though she had spent time with him, which is what she was paid to do (because she's an escort), so he murdered her. Yes. That's what happened.
