Judge throws out murder case in Harter shooting death
A Superior Court judge has ruled that Luther Harter’s nephew and his wife are immune from prosecution in Harter’s shooting death.
In an order released this week, Judge Robert Guy determined that “a preponderance of the evidence” shows that Thomas Harter and Michelle Roberts were acting in self-defense when they shot at Luther Harter in an altercation off Penholloway Road on Nov. 20, 2018.
Thomas Harter and Roberts were subsequently indicted for felony murder, voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and involuntary manslaughter.
Guy was ruling on motions heard in a pretrial hearing Oct. 14-15 of last year.
The motions were based on Official Code of Georgia Annotated Sections 16-3-24.2 and 16-3-21 which grant immunity from prosecution for use of deadly force in cases where someone “reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.”

First, even though I got back a little later from my morning patrol.
That judge…..what a stand up Guy! Good for him!
And it sounds like uncle & nephew should have had some Harter-to-Harter talks before things came to the point of death by self defense.
Raise a Stein in memory of hauer.
I wonder what his criminal background was, that he decided to go out with a bang, not a wimper.
RIM SHOT-Ya got me on that one President Elect
Fitting that homie was sent to the Happy Hunting Grounds right near the Cahokia Mounds. That was Kevin’s Last Stand.
Luther couldn’t find it in his hart to share the path? Guess he he took another path…The Highway to Hell.
“…properly lubed and wiped down…” Did ChipNASA write that review of the M&P 9 Shield? Or was he talking about his other “gun”?
