Occupational therapist Joshua Leone is charged with homicide in the death of kenneth pickell

A California Occupational Therapist, Joshua Leone, has been charged with homicide in the death of his neighbor, Kenneth Pickell. Pickell’s wife says that the two got into an argument, and Leone shot Pickell in his back. Pickell had turned to leave and pushed Leone for his guns.

Although police have not ruled out self-defense, the Northampton County coroner’s testimony Thursday suggested that Leone shot Pickell outside Pickell’s garage. The coroner couldn’t say if Pickell was in his garage at the time Leone shot him. This could become a problem if Leone mounts a self defense claim. The law prohibits homeowners from shooting anyone who enters their property. Therefore, the victim’s location is crucial for the prosecution’s case.
