@candentenews: You won’t believe this! A woman struck a teenager with a baseball bat as he tried to break into her home… but she ended up having to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars. The incident happened when Emily Johnson, 32, heard strange noises coming from her front door late at night. Realizing that someone was trying to force their way inside, she grabbed a baseball bat. Shortly afterward, the arm of 16-year-old Jason Williams came through the opening in the door. Emily struck him with the bat, causing a serious fracture that later resulted in a permanent disability. Jason’s mother filed a $2 million lawsuit, arguing that her son was unarmed and only intended to steal money. Emily’s attorney argued that Jason was attempting to break into the home to commit a robbery and that Emily had acted in self-defense. The judge determined that Jason did intend to break in and steal, but also found that he had not yet entered the house or directly attacked Emily. Ultimately, the court ruled that the force Emily used was excessive, found her 40% responsible, and ordered her to pay approximately $800,000 in compensation. What do you think: was this self-defense, or did she use too much force? #News #Justice #SelfDefense #CurrentEvents #Viral
