An 85-year-old Idaho mother who shot and killed a home intruder committed a 'justifiable homicide' that is 'one of the most heroic acts of self-preservation I have heard of,' Bingham County Prosecuting Attorney Ryan Jolley stated in an incident review. The suspect, identified as 39-year-old Derek Condon, entered the home Christine Jenneiahn shares with her disabled son around 2 a.m. March 13.
Condon reportedly became angry when he found out Jenneiahn's son was in the home, and she did not tell him. The suspect is said to have made numerous threats to kill Jenneiahn. 'At one point while Condon was downstairs, Christine drug the chair she was handcuffed to into her bedroom, and retrieved her 357 magnum revolver from under her pillow,' Jolley wrote.
He said the case 'presents an easy analysis of self-defense and justifiable homicide,' adding that Jenneiahn's 'grit, determination and will to live appear to be what saved her that night.' Had Condon survived, Jolley said he would have charged him with multiple felonies, including attempted murder, kidnapping, burglary, aggravated battery and grand theft.
