Alaska laws regarding self defense prohibit the use of deadly force "if the person knows that, with complete personal safety and with complete safety as to others being defended, the person can avoid the necessity of using deadly force by leaving the area of the encounter."

Property owner followed suspect into woods!

Life in the Mat Su.  

Property owners take priority.  

The Mat Su has no police and minimal troopers

As shown  in this case, depends on who you are and who you know as to how Alaska Law is enforced

The property owner would not lie as to what happened to justify his shooting?!

This is the Mat Su!
No police needed.
Drug addicts and thieves beware!
