>>213869205>Wtf? When?Self-defense. He was sharing a house with a crazy roommate.
Roommate started breaking down his down his door screaming that he would kill them both. Red Ranger actor had his GF in his room with him.
Actor grabbed a prop Katana sword he had on display. Said he would defend himself. Roommate screamed he would kill them both and didn't care. He lunged at both of them. Actor aimed sword forward, the roommate didn't stop charging and got stabbed.
Paramedics were called. Roommate was stabilized and brought to hospital. Police said everything was all GOOD and it was clearly self defense. GF even testified it was self defense.
Suddenly roommate health went bad and died in hospital like 3 days later despite being stable earlier.
Because this took place in California, The charges are changed from SELF-DEFENSE to MANSLAUGHTER (unintentional murder).
California Judge said he used too much force to defend himself. Thus he's guilty of manslaughter. Actor went to jail despite defending his GF.
(The funny thing was that if this took place in Texas, he would be considered a hero. But California has the weakest self defense laws in the country.)
Actor served time in prison. But was released early for good behavior. Friends of the Red Ranger actor said he is fine....but just wants to be left alone. He doesn't want to be an actor anymore, and doesn't want to be in the spotlight. And to please respect his decision and let him live the remainder of his life in peace.
He's pretty much a broken man now. Gone is youth and passion. Replaced with bitterness and wanting to be left alone.
