Prosecutors: Driver acted in self-defense in April 2022 fatal Maple Grove shooting

No charges will be filed against a driver who shot and killed another man in April 2022 near Interstate 94 and Maple Grove Parkway in Maple Grove, as prosecutors say the shooter was acting in self-defense.

According to a news release, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office declined to file charges in the April 17, 2022, shooting that killed 61-year-old William Floyd Haire of Buffalo, Minn.

As 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS previously reported, the shooting occurred just before 3 p.m. near County Road 30 and Garland Lane North. Both vehicles left the scene, and police found Haire in his car on a ramp onto I-94.

Holding the charge over his head as punishment because he could not be punished for the crime he did not commit?

I've disagreed with some of the lawyers in the movement, from time to time, because too many seem to think that winning in court means all is well.

Even if you do eventually win in court, the process is expensive and painful.

Avoiding a situation when you can, even if you're legally justified, is usually a good idea.

Yep.
Even with the eventual outcome, the legal aspects alone were most certainly expensive, and emotionally draining; not to mention the traumatic experience of the incident itself.
Under the best of circumstances, dealing with a fair, and impartial judiciary, this would minimally be a life-changing event.
Given the current conditions, this could ruin someone.
