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."
Žiri u Bexar županiji, Texas, upravo je oslobodio Ezekiela Gilbert optužbi da je ubio 23-godišnju Craigslist pratnju- obrazloživši, jer je on pokušavao
da povrati nazad 150 $ koje je platio Lenori Ivie Frago, koji nije imali seks s njim, shodno, njegovi postupci bili su opravdani.
Gilbert je priznao da je pucao Frago u vrat na Badnjak 2009, kada je ona uzela $ 150 od Gilberta i napustila njegov dom bez seksa sa njim.
Frago, koji je paralizirana od pucnjave, umrla je nekoliko mjeseci kasnije.
Gilbertova odbrana je tvrdila da pucnjava nije trebalo da je ubije, a da su Gilbertove akcije bile opravdane, jer je vjerovao da je seks bio
uključen kao dio naknade. Texasov zakon omogućava ljudima "koristiti smrtonosnu silu da povrate imovinu tijekom noćne krađe."
30-godišnjak je zagrlio svoje branioce posle presude da nije "nije kriv", pročitane od strane sudije. Da je bio osuđen, mogao je biti suočen sa životom u zatvoru.
On se zahvalio Bogu, da su njegovi advokati i sudstvo bili u stanju da "vide šta nije bila istina."
