Texas Says It's OK to Shoot an Escort If She Won't Have Sex With You



A jury in Bexar County, Texas just acquitted Ezekiel Gilbert of charges that he murdered a 23-year-old Craigslist escort—agreeing that because he was attempting to retrieve the $150 he'd paid to Lenora Ivie Frago, who wouldn't have sex with him, his actions were justified.



Gilbert had admitted to shooting Frago in the neck on Christmas Eve 2009, when she accepted $150 from Gilbert and left his home without having sex with him. Frago, who was paralyzed by the shooting, died several months later.



Gilbert's defense argued that the shooting wasn't meant to kill, and that Gilbert's actions were justified, because he believed that sex was included as part of the fee. Texas law allows people"to use deadly force to recover property during a nighttime theft."



The 30-year-old hugged his defense attorneys after the "not guilty" verdict was read by the judge. If convicted, he could have faced life in prison. He thanked God, his lawyers, and the jury for being able to "see what wasn't the truth."

I still think we should ship all of the illegals to Texas and give it back to Mexico.

Huh, if it wasn't for the topic I'd think this were Florida.

Maybe Germany

Well, she was stealing effectively. Still, d-bag move to kill the escort.

How was she stealing? She's a 100% legal escort. He paid her to be an escort. The fact that she refused to have sex with him because she's an escort, not a prostitute, is not stealing.

Yeah but have you seen the ads for escorts? I've never seen such heavy insinuation.







Like imagine having 30 less IQ and interpreting those ads after a 12 pack.

Because you hire escorts for sex. I know you can't legally SAY that, but you still hire them for sex. If you pay for something and don't get it and the person won't give your money back, that's theft.



Nobody hires an escort for any reason besides sex.

I don't hire them at all. But that's an expected part of the service. It's like if you go to an all you can eat buffet, but they don't have any food out and refuse to give you a refund. Technically you pay for admission to the buffet, not the food. But it's fuckin-a understood that you paid to eat.
