BRIDGEWATER – A 70-year-old Bridgewater woman pleaded not guilty today to firing a gun to scare her 43-year-old neighbor during a June 1 confrontation between the two.

 

Rosalyn Valachovic made the plea this morning before Judge Paul Armstrong in Superior Court in Somerville during an arraignment hearing.

she should of called police before even thinking about going outside with the gun.

 

++++++++++++++1000000000000 trillion billion!

 

 

Call the police, lock your self inside. Point the gun at the door, and wait for police to arrive.

 

Sounds more like she was fed up with the guy bothering her and decided to take the matter into her own hands.

 

The fact still remains that you need to fear for your life in order to use deadly force, she's gonna have a very hard time proving that her life was in danger.

She could not have been too much of a threat if the guy charged her and took the gun away. The guy was probably a bully, they are real good at intimidating old ladies. Too bad she didn't put one between his eyes while he was charging her.

Technically guilty , but I would never convict her.

Let's hear some more facts before we call someone a bully and assume this was some sweet old lady. Maybe it's true and maybe the old lady was the bully.

 

Either way the law says the old lady is guilty. And 70 ain't that old besides. I know plenty of ladies in their 90s and a few in their 100s. Most are sweet people but a few are not ones I'd want to have pointing a gun at me.
