Professor Anders Walker, a centrist Constitutional and Criminal Law professor at SLU Law, argues the Castle Doctrine permitted the St. Louis couple to defend their property with guns. Despite rumors that the City Prosecuting Attorney Kim Gardner will bring criminal charges against them, Professor Walker maintains they committed no crime because they live on a private street and had a legitimate fear of being harmed.  He also discusses whether the execution of a search warrant by police and seizure of the McCloskeys’ guns violated their constitutional rights.
