When she could not catch she then had a duty to call the authorities. Castle doctrine does not mean you can go down the street, around the corner, into the neighborhood bar and shoot the guy/girl.
The moment she chose to get in her care, she made a concious choice not to recover her property, but to do harm to the perp. She was no longer in fear of bodily harm and therefore had no right to escalate the conflict.
A private person may stop and detain another person when the private person has probable cause to believe that the other person has committed in his presence a (1) felony, (2) a breach of the peace, (3) a crime involving physical injury to another person, or (4) a crime involving theft or destruction of property.
was it deadly
No, she didn't.Would it had been okay for some to run after the perp and tackle him? The lady simply used her car to tackle him.
He would have gotten away.....but may have visited her late that night, raped her then slit her throat to shut her up.ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- When Christine Braswell found a man breaking into her SUV in a Walmart parking lot in North Carolina, she chased him. When the 26-year-old couldn't catch him, she jumped behind the wheel -- and what happened next is scary and disturbing to watch.

"She slammed on her brakes, crammed it in reverse, and ran over the median there in between and hit him in the back. I mean she, just he was running and she just flat hit him," said witness Janice Kelley.
Witnesses told WLOS the man who was hit was allegedly going through Braswell's belongings in her red-orange Ford Explorer.
"When I walked out of Walmart, he had her purse and was pulling all of her stuff out then me and my friend told him to put it down and what are you doing. She stopped and he ran off and then she came up behind him and hit him with her car," said witness Blake Bennett.
Asheville police told WLOS the man escaped with minor injuries. Police are charging Robert Raines with breaking and entering, larceny, and damage to property.
Braswell is facing an assault with a deadly weapon charge.
Pregnant woman runs over suspected purse thief in Walmart parking lot
Yes, it contains a video of the guy getting run over.
Now that Republicans have the power, perhaps it's time they write more laws for victims of crime. Much like they did with Concealed Carry laws in various states, law abiding citizens should have more rights than criminals.
This pregnant woman took off after a guy that robbed her of her purse. IMO, she had every right to stop him no matter how. Now she's being charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
If you were on a jury, how would you vote on this case, guilty or not guilty?
There was no imminent threat, she should have let to police handle it.

In fact, when she abandoned the foot chase and opted for the car, she metaphorically did exactly that.Sure.

The guy had minor injuries. She obviously did not use deadly force.You can't use deadly force to protect property . Only people .
Self-Defense.The use of the vehicle constitutes an attack with a deadly weapon....
He was running away, posed no immediate threat, guilty. Of course that is dependent on the pertinent laws of the state...
Seriously, does what he did warrant death? Because she could have easily killed the little shit stain. He definitely deserves a serious beat down, but not with the front bumper of an SUV...
posed no immediate threat,
of course he did

This is a tough one. She is going to be hormonal due to the pregnancy so that is a mitigating factor, also you can see where she hits the brakes just before impact so she wasn't trying to kill him. I would find her guilty of whatever lesser included charge they will have, but not ADW.

Wrong answer, in TX you can shoot someone in the back, at night, if they are running away with your property. I don't think you can run them down with a truck though. From what I saw he didn't have any of her property and it was daylight.

Maybe. On the other hand, if the DA continues with his over charging and doesn't include a lessor charge, I would her not guilty.
Look. We all hate thieves . But really, leathal [sic] force ?

was it deadly
Look. You people asked how we would rule. This is how I would rule. I'm not interested in the semantic word games. Wait for the trail and lets see what happens.
The moment she gave up the foot race and went for a car, she proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was no longer in fear for her safety. It then became a premeditated attack on the guy who robbed her and she did so with a deadly weapon.
