A Texas grand jury declined Tuesday to indict a man accused in the fatal shooting of 9-year-old Arlene Alvarez, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said. The jury no billed Tony Earls, 41, who was charged with aggravated assault after an incident in which he was robbed at gunpoint in February. He and his attacker exchanged gunfire, with Earls aiming at what he believed was the suspect’s vehicle. Instead, police said, it was the Alvarez family car, with 9-year-old Arlene in the backseat. She was struck by a bullet from Earl’s gun and died the next day. In an emotional Facebook post on Tuesday, the girl’s mother, Gwen Alvarez, slammed the decision as “FUCKING BULLSHIT,” adding that she felt “weak and nauseous.” 

I'm weak and nauseous, too.  But Kim Ogg knows the county, and knows that no jury would convict Earls.  Hey, it's not like he meant to shoot her, right?  Man's gotta right to protect himself, after all.

Yeah, it's disgusting.  It's also reality. Fight it until your knuckles are bloody and see where that gets you.  Or consider some pastoral care for the family, and see if that helps them.

My guess is one solution is ultimately better than the other.
