A woman was called in front of a Texas grand jury for possible manslaughter charges after she shot a mugger 6 times in the back as he was running away with her purse. He had grabbed the purse and ran. She had her hand on her gun in the purse when he grabbed the purse and she was left with the revolver in her hand.
When asked by the grand jury why she shot the man 6 times in the back as he was running away, she replied under oath: "Because when I pulled the trigger the 7th time it only went click".
She was acquitted of all charges. That's the way it is in Texas.
Explain why she's wrong?

There's some Taurus revolvers that could've given her a 7th shot.
Would love to go to Austin to take the CHL instructor course. While the shoot may have been defensible in criminal law, unfortunately, it's the civil suit that is gonna cost her.
Once she had her firearm, would likely have been best that she hold her fire until she perceived she was in imminent danger.
If she was "acquitted" that means the grand jury indicted her and a regular jury found her "not guilty." Grand Juries don't "acquit" they "no bill."
