SAN ANTONIO — A South Texas man has been acquitted in the shooting death of a woman he met on Craigslist as a possible escort.

A jury in San Antonio on Wednesday acquitted Ezekiel Gilbert of murder.

The defense says Gilbert was protecting himself from theft when he shot Lenora Frago on Christmas Eve 2009. She died several months later.

Attorneys for Gilbert say he paid the woman $150 to have sex - then she refused, balked at returning the money and said she had to give the cash to her driver. The defense said Gilbert's actions were justified because he was trying to retrieve stolen property and the driver was part of the theft scheme.

Prosecutors say Gilbert got mad and shot Frago when she refused to have sex with him.

The fck??? u cant take the law in ur own hands, and shoot someone because u feel they owe u money. Stealing, and/or not performing prostitution services is not a capital offense. Kangaroo court.

But its OK to break the law as long as its just something like... smoking weed? Another coli district attorney who ignores certain laws while preaching to uphold others.


By the way you can do any God damn thing you please as long as you can convince a jury you were in the right.

They cited a Texas law which allows people to use deadly force to recover property during a nighttime theft...

:to: She died several months later. If it was related to injuries resulting from the gunshot, it had to be an extremely prolonged, agonizing death.
