The shooter, Stanley Jensen, was the one who made the 911 call. The legal argument about whether the shooting was required finally came up in court, even though he turned himself into the police and admitted to shooting Marc.
Stanley was Marc’s landlord. Before buying a house he later rented to Marc and another renter, he had worked as a US Air Force veteran and in various other occupations.
Stanley’s tenants at the time paid him weekly without a lease or other rental agreement. According to Stanley’s defense attorney, his client wanted Marc to leave the house because of Marc’s drug use and other odd behavior.
Stanley continued by saying that Marc was late on his rent in the days leading up to the shooting. That day, Hus and another tenant took Marc’s possessions from home.
But when Marc went home, he was dissatisfied. Stanley claimed that his tenant had threatened to strike him with a hammer. Then a sheriff’s officer showed up and asked Stanley to leave so the legal eviction procedure could be followed.
However, Stanley asserted that when he subsequently came to the house, Marc had a machete in his hand. He said that the 49-year-old had threatened to kill him. According to Stanley, Marc wouldn’t put down the rifle, so he shot him.
The prosecution questioned him about moving the machete while speaking to 911. “I did that, and it was a terrible mistake,” Stanley retorted. I have no idea why I relocated it.
