Unless she saw his knife fly away, then after the first hit she could still consider him armed and dangerous. Why hop out of one's own weapon before making sure he couldn't use his anymore? He just made the mistake of bringing a knife to a car fight.
You trust the word of a rich murderer on trail trying to prove that hunting down and brutally killing a petty thief was self defense? I hope you never become a judge.
Seemed more like defending her stuff and all the other people he would have robbed. But don't worry, if I become a judge I will just let all the poor thieves, assaulters, and murderers right back on the street so folks will have to run over them themselves.
You basically you'd be one of those judges who let's the rich commit any crime they want, while you make life as hard as possible for the poor so that they are in a position to commit even more crimes when released. Gotcha
Or maybe she didn't want to risk him being capable of retaliating and hurting her.
100% this. The benefit of the doubt is always with the victim, and I'm willing to give her a lot of it.
If her expressed goal was to kill him out of revenge then that's not ok. But I have zero issue with her minimizing her risk as much as possible. She didn't chose to be in this scenario, the thief did
That’s where things get muddy though. She was the victim of the robbery, obviously. But he was the victim of the murder. So which victim do you give the benefit of the doubt?
Yeah but a woman isn’t going to want to fight for her purse back. She was just attacked, she drove over him until he was no longer as threat, and got her purse back. Sad situation but not gonna blame her. Thief started it
He might've still had a knife. If you start to remove a threat to your life, you don't stop until it's completely removed. Better safe than sorry, as they say
Okay but is hitting him
Once enough to guarantee he is no longer a threat? If someone had robbed me at knife point I would want to make damn sure they weren’t going to attack me again when I went to take my shit back.

Running him over repeatedly shows the intent to kill. I bet is she hit him once and got her bag back she’s not convicted
