Matthew Pinkerton was charged by an idiotic Maryland prosecutor for
daring to shoot a man who was forcing his way into Pinkerton’s home.
We first wrote about the absurd case against US Air Force Tech Sgt. Matt Pinkerton in early November, when he was charged with murder by Assistant State’s Attorney Glen Neubauer. What was Pinkerton’s crime? Not pausing to dial 9-1-1 after Kendall Green forced is way into Pinkerton’s home at 2:00 AM.
Our friend and Bearing Arms contributor Mike McDaniel has been following the Pinkerton case on his own site, and now reports that charges against Pinkerton have been dismissed by the judge… and that’s no small thing:

The sad thing is that the prosecutor likely brought the charges knowing full well he could not get a conviction and likely because of some undisclosed motive. Maybe he wanted to establish some sort of legal precedent for the future or he wanted his name attached to a high profile case. Who knows? All I know is that he or the state should have to compensate the defendant for his monetary damages and emotional distress.
