Jury says Gundry not guilty of murder and manslaughter - Audio

What planet are you from Elizabeth? The courts have affirmed many times that killing in self defence if confronted by someone wielding a deadly weapon, obviously intending to use it, is justifiable. As for calling the police - what do you do and where do you go before the police arrive? As for shooting at his legs - are you a crack shot? Even the OAS will tell you always to aim at body mass. You will stand a better chance of quickly incapacitating an armed attacker. And NEVER produce a firearm in self-defence unless you seriously mean to use it.

I DONT AGREE WITH YOU ONE BIT LIZZY,, YOU DONT KNOW WOT YOUR REACTIONS WOULD BE UNTIL YOU ARE IN A SITUATION LIKE that. there is a saying like " dont knock it till you have tryed it". so dont comment until you have been in a situation like that.

thank you Johnny when you want the police they are not around, and when you dont want them they are always picking on the same old people and never there when needed. . i will keep this in mind i will call the fire brigrade when and ever i need help. Elizabeth watch really tv like paul holmes or shortland street

Come on.... a split second to think with other people vulnerable.

Why call the police when it takes half an hour for them to arrive. It may have been multiple homicide.

When in trouble call the fire brigade, or ambulance cause the cops turn up as well.

Me, no I wouldn't allow anyone to hurt my family. But the sensible thing to do is call the police and let them do their job. You can't just randomly shoot someone (twice) and expect them to recover! If he did need to use the gun for self defence, why didn't he aim at the victims legs? Look the point that I’m trying to clarify here is these sorts of cases are important for future similar offences. And there is no doubt in future that a lot of offenders would use this case to help defend them. He needs to take responsibility for killing a human being and for this case he should have got manslaughter. No justice!!!!

Yes i agree elizabeth, no one should take anyones's life, what would you do let someone just hurt your family and friends? or would you defend yourself and family? no one every thinks right when they are put on the spot likes this? you just think defend. very very sorry for the Atkins lost

I am quite disgusted at the public’s views on this so far. No one has the right to end someone’s life especially when the outcome of a gun is death. This is a perfect example of a "licence to kill"! You can't just go ahead and shoot someone with a deadly weapon just because they're a threat! I mean, isn't it the police's job to sort this out! This guy took two shots not one, there's no doubt his conscious was clear! What he should have got was manslaughter, as this was definitely premeditated!

Totally agree that you should be able to defend yourself and your family. Clearly the jury agreed in this case and justice has been served.

everyone is a victim in this sad time. The Atkins have lost a family member and Alan has to live with this for the rest of his life. At the end of the day what drugs and drinking do to people.

I think the verdict was a fair call! sorry to the victims family though!
