0:00.0	A word of warning, this podcast explores graphic and disturbing stories and includes some strong language.
0:06.0	It therefore may not be suitable for our young listeners or other folks who may find it disturbing.
0:12.0	Hello and welcome to a special edition of True Crime News, the podcast. I'm your host, Anna Garcia.
0:18.0	Today's case examines the very difficult topic of self-defense versus the use of
0:23.7	deadly force, specifically when a fugitive recovery agent, who many call a bounty hunter, is chasing a
0:31.7	fugitive and the fugitive is killed in a gun battle. Before we break down this case, we want to show you this video from
