LEBANON, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana homeowner accused of killing a house cleaner who mistakenly arrived at his front door was charged with voluntary manslaughter on Monday in a case that could test the limits of stand-your-ground laws.

Curt Anderson, 62, could face anywhere from 10 to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if he’s convicted. He was being held in the Boone County Jail pending an initial court hearing.

    I’m always amazed when other gun owners talk about using it in self defense. Like you may get out of the criminal conviction, but why would you want to put yourself through the trial‽

      If it was legitimate your life vs theirs, I believe a lot of people would put up with a trial afterwards.
