In the case of Mike Matson, since a dog was allegedly > killed by him, the penalty was his own death. "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The statements above, if true, constitute probable cause to charge the DPS officers with murder. They are sworn to uphold the Constitution, and they did not have a death warrant, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, as far as I can tell. If there is such a state law in Texas, I can tell you right now that it is unconstitutional, for violating the Fifth Amendment. Dogs are used for hunting, and the hunted has as much of a right to self-defense as the hunter. I am not aware that Mr. Matson ever waived his fundamental Right to due process of law. I should think that he was not so desperate as to do a thing like that. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com ======================================================================== Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. : Counselor at Law, federal witness email: [address in tool bar] : Eudora Pro 3.0.1 on Intel 586 CPU web site: http://www.supremelaw.com : library & law school registration ship to: c/o 2509 N.
