Joe Horn Case Goes to Grand Jury

The case of a John Horn, the Pasadena homeowner who shot and killed two burglars goes to a grand jury next month. The district attorney's office reports the case will be heard sometime in June. All evidence in this case was turned over to the District Attorney’s Office in December of 2007

Horn admitted shooting two men he saw breaking into his neighbor's house back in November. He claims he acted in self-defense when he saw the men on his lawn. But critics think Horn acted aggressively, based on comments he made to a 911 dispatcher.

There will be many interested parties in attendance if this case should ever go to trial.

I will keep appraised of this case and post further information as it develop.

Photos and Bios of Criminals Killed in Pasadena, Texas

Diego Ortiz (far left) was one of the two criminals who was killed by Pasadena resident Joe Horn after they burglarized a neighbor's home and then entered Horn's yard.

Miguel de Jesus (near left) was the other criminal who "met his maker" as a result of his criminal behavior. De Jesus had a criminal history and was on parole when he was killed.

I guess these two will never have to worry about making a bad decision again. Their fate was a result of their own actions. To quote my dear old father:

"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

Pasadena, Texas Man Kills Two Criminals Caught In The Act

61-year-old Joe Horn of Pasadena, Texas saw two criminals breaking into his neighbor's house and did what every red-blooded American citizen SHOULD do. He defended his neighbor's property and shot the two criminal's dead. In fact, he confronted them on HIS property, and as they brandished a crowbar at him, he sent them to the great beyond.

The criminals were Miguel Antonio DeJesus, 38, and Diego Ortiz, 30, both of Houston.

I have been to Pasadena many times over the years. It used to be a middle class working town where families raised their children and lived their lives.

In recent years, Pasadena has turned into a third world country. It looks like Little Mexico. The old part of Pasadena, which once had beautiful houses and neighborhoods look like Tijuana, Mexico.

Crime is up and many of the long time residents have moved away. When I was surfing tonight and read this on a news site, I was not surprise that this happened in Pasadena.

This man did what more good citizens should do. If more people did what he did, we would not see so much crime.

I will keep abreast of this story and make future posts as to its progress.
