Cespedes case reaffirms Castle Doctrine<\/strong><\/p>\n By Ray Scherer Raydel Cespedes, who originally came to St. Joseph looking for work, was found not guilty earlier this month of second-degree murder. Cespedes shot and killed a man he said posed a threat to his family on the night of Aug. 10, 2017.<\/p>\n His attorney, Matt O\u2019Connor of Kansas City, relied on arguments to the jury that Cespedes was simply protecting his family and property when he fired the fatal shot.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the (Missouri) Castle Doctrine was reaffirmed,\u201d O\u2019Connor told News-Press NOW. \u201cIt was a huge factor.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 1 \/ 0 \/ 0<\/p>\n Read the rest of the article here: Perryville News<\/a><\/p>\n Idaho Falls police officer killed in Utah home invasion was facing felony charges<\/strong><\/p>\n By: Nate Sunderland Reed, 35, was placed on administrative duty in October, and administrative leave a month later after he reported a domestic dispute between himself and an ex-girlfriend to his superiors. That physical fight eventually led to felony and misdemeanor abuse charges filed against him in Jefferson County.<\/p>\n Hours before his death Thursday, Reed\u2019s troubles began in eastern Idaho. Bonneville County Sheriff Sgt. Bryan Lovell says Reed was involved in a \u201cdisturbance\u201d in Ammon that morning. The nature of the disturbance has not been released, but it was reported to and investigated by authorities after the fact.<\/p>\n Out of a desire not to impact the Layton Police Department\u2019s investigation, the sheriff\u2019s office is not releasing information about the Ammon incident, Lovell said.<\/p>\n Later in the day, Reed left Idaho and traveled to Utah. In a Facebook post, Reed\u2019s lawyer, Joe Filicetti, says Reed was having a dispute with one of his best friends over a woman.<\/p>\n Police reports show Reed entered a home in Layton uninvited and confronted the homeowner about a relationship involving an ex-girlfriend. Police say an argument ensued, and the homeowner shot Reed several times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 1 \/ 0 \/ 0<\/p>\n The rest of this story may be viewed here: East Idaho News<\/a><\/p>\n Shots fired during altercation at Trinidad residence, suspect at large <\/strong><\/p>\n By The Times-Standard On Tuesday morning at about 5:39 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff\u2019s deputies were dispatched to a residence on the 700 block of Edwards Street in Trinidad for a shooting investigation.<\/p>\n According to the victim, just prior to contacting law enforcement, the victim observed an unknown male suspect siphoning gas from his vehicle.
