The question is: Was he justified?

The basic facts of what happened outside Rory Holland’s house in Biddeford around 1 a.m. on June 30, 2009, are not in dispute.

Two brothers, 21-year-old Derek Greene and 19-year-old Gage Greene, were walking past Holland’s house on South Street when the younger brother exchanged words with him. Witnesses say the confrontation turned physical as Gage Greene shoved Holland.

Holland pulled a handgun from his waistband and shot Gage Greene in the chest. Then Holland shot Derek Greene twice, in the chest and the abdomen, as he ran toward the spot where his younger brother had fallen.
