Looks Like The Clark County DA Is 0-2 So Far This Week

First, we have the James Bulah were it is very questionable where charges were filed against the homeowner who shot 2 thugs while they were stealing things from him.
Now comes another case in the northeast Las Vegas Valley.
From the Las Vegas Sun: "According to a Metro Police arrest report released Monday, Carter told dispatchers she had cut her boyfriend with a knife. When officers responded to the home, they found a man who was bloody lying in the hallway.
The Clark County Coroner’s Office identified him as Larry Box, 24, of Las Vegas. A coroner’s spokeswoman said he died from a stab wound to the chest and that his death had been ruled a homicide.
The report indicated that during an interview with detectives, Carter told police she stabbed Box after a fight. She told police she and Box had returned to the home at about 1 a.m. and that her sister had been babysitting her children. Box and Carter began to argue and Box allegedly grabbed Carter by the throat and punched her in the face, police said.
Carter’s sister intervened in an attempt to stop the fight, Carter told police, and Box began striking her sister, the report said. At that point, Carter broke away from Box and ran to the kitchen, where she grabbed a knife. She returned to the spot where her sister and Box were fighting and yelled for Box to stop hitting her sister.
Carter said she swung the knife and struck Box; he fell to the floor and she called 911, the report stated." http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/mar/15/woman-23-arrested-stabbing-death-fiance/

So, let's the deceased thug starts by beating up the defendant and then goes onto beat up her sister. When told to stop fighting with the sister, he refuses, so she stabs him to protect his sister.
To me, this is simple self defense. You have a thug beating up two sisters and refuses to stop. are they supposed to call 911 and wait for the police? Hell, both of them could have been killed by the time the cops showed up.
So, by my count, we have two citizens who have been put in jail for defending themselves this week. Not a good week for the DA and the police.
On the lighter side, the defendant certainly was killed by a Box cutter and is lying in a box right now.
