CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - No charges will be filed against the Cape Girardeau woman who shot and killed a registered sex offender trying to break back into her home.
Ronnie Preyer, 47, of Jackson died seven hours after being shot in the chest.
Cape Girardeau County prosecuting attorney Morley Swingle tells Heartland News that Preyer is the same man who raped the 57-year-old woman just five nights ago.
Swingle says she shot Preyer as he broke through her basement door into her kitchen around 2:15 Halloween morning.
I asked Swingle about the woman's decision to take such drastic measures to protect herself.
Cape County Coroner John Clifton says he agrees with Mr. Swingle and plans to rule preyer's death a justifiable homicide.Goose
